The Wise Woman Knows: 20 Minutes a Day to a Christ-Centered Home

DAY 10 OF 10

Offering Forgiveness to Our Friends


Step One (Five Minutes):  Start your time with the Lord by praying for your husband, children, and yourself. For example, "Lord Jesus, Help me today to love my family and friends unconditionally, just like You love me. Help me to be quick to forgive others knowing how quick You are to forgive me. I love You, Lord! Speak to my heart today! In Jesus' Name, Amen."


Step Two (Ten Minutes): Read the Scriptures and devotional. Write anything that stands out to you in your journal. 


Have you ever thought of friendship as a gift—a beautifully wrapped package, just for you? A friend has great value. We discover the depth of friendships one layer at a time. We are initially attracted to an external veneer, and with time the layers of a person are revealed, and the connection grows roots that can last forever.


There is a saying, “people are messy.” We find this is true as the seasons of our lives wax and wane. Friends will come and go for various reasons. There are, unfortunately, some relationships that disappoint, leaving us void of a deeper connection, and it is important to realize this is a normal course in life. However, our primary friendship is the one with our Creator.


The fact is, no one in our life can give us all we need and desire, nor can we offer the same to another...but Jesus can. Everyone, at some point, will experience disappointment, abandonment, or betrayal by a friend, but Jesus? He NEVER lets us down. He experienced the worst from man, some of whom were his followers. Yet, after his death on the cross, He lovingly came back to those “friends,” his disciples, and with tender mercy, encouraged them.


Step Three (Five Minutes): Take five minutes to plan your day. Write down six things you would like to accomplish today. Ask God to help you! Have a great day!


With Love,


Melissa Lain and the Help Club for Moms Team
