Where we have done wrong, we promptly admit it and allow God to show mercy to us and grant us His forgiveness.

Jesus taught that we are to ask God to forgive our wrongs as we forgive those who have wronged us.

We are not shaped so much by our environment as we are by our perception of our environment. The way we think has a powerful impact on how we face life each day. If we are not thinking right, it will be reflected in our emotional state and in our actions.

We want to think and pray about our thinking because we know that our words and actions are often the direct result of what we think and feel.  If we want to speak and act well, we first need to think and desire well.

Today we have another opportunity to join our hearts in giving thanks and praise to God for the many ways He blesses us. Whatever we are doing today, let’s have a lovely day that includes reflecting on the goodness of God.

People lie so they look better than they are acting.  They lie  to try to gain advantage. They lie because they are angry with someone and want to get back at them.  They lie to themselves to minimize and excuse their poor attitudes or behaviour. The truth is, whenever any person tries to live without God they quickly descend into a habit of telling lies.
