When we mess up, we almost immediately shame ourselves. It can be hard to bring it up to others because we're so hard on ourselves. How would it feel if you knew someone loved you — despite how many times you messed up, and they wouldn't look at you any differently? Does that sound like unconditional love to you?
God sets the example for unconditional love. We should know that God loves us when we sin - anything against loving God and others. This love we experience is because of God's mercy and forgiveness. Even if we can't seem to break a habit, God is patient with us and slow to anger.
God is this patient in our repeated mistakes because when given one of those chances, you might get it right. How would you approach your mistakes if you knew God was patient with you?

About this Plan
Apologies — they’re hard to give, but they’re sometimes hard to receive, too. When you’re the one who has hurt someone else, saying you’re sorry (and actually meaning it) takes work and practice. But when you’re the one who’s been hurt by someone else, things get even more complicated. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll unpack apologies and forgiveness.
