“It’s been said that ‘forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.’ May God help us, too, to offer the sweet fragrance of forgiveness when we are struggling with the weight of being crushed.”
—Ruth Chou Simons in “The Way of the Wildflower”
My prayer this week: Heavenly Father, I ask for the grace to forgive those who have hurt me. I lay down my anger, pain, and resentment before you. Please soften my heart and fill me with your mercy for others. Free me from the burden of holding onto the past, and heal any brokenness within me.
