But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. – Eph 2:4-5

Oftentimes, we stand ready to condemn others because of the error of their ways, forgetting that we too have erred, more than once.  It is easy to point the finger away from self, knowing very well that the finger should be curved in the opposite direction.  Before pointing the finger, let’s look to God, who leads by example.  He gives grace and mercy to correct and to transform.  As we journey this life and sees another erring, simple think, how can I help in correcting this problem, but more so, how can I bring transformation to this situation? 

Prayer:  Lord helps me to look away from chastising and look towards transforming.  Working to help others despite their transgressions, to bring healing to the spirit and the nation.  Lord thank you for an open heart that is open to your divine guidance.
