There are moments when people disappoint us, misunderstand us, or make it difficult to respond with kindness. In every interaction, we can choose to reflect the same grace, patience, and love that God shows us. Ask Him to help you love others with a softer and more compassionate heart today. Pray this with me.
Dear God,
Allow me to see situations from others’ perspectives before acting or speaking, so that I can treat them as I wish to be treated. There are certain people in my life who haven’t earned my respect, compassion, empathy, forgiveness or kindness, but I want to evolve and treat others better than I ever have. Help me set aside my ego and tap into the loving divine power within me.
Help me remember this principle in moments of frustration and conflict, and give me grace to extend the patience and understanding I hope to receive.I ask that you give me opportunities to practice this rule in my daily interactions today, so that I can transform my heart and learn to heal relationships where I haven’t followed this truth.
Protect me from expecting others to follow this rule as a condition for my kindness, and help me discover joy in creating positive experiences for others through my thoughtful actions. May my love be unconditional, just as yours is for me.
Amen.
