Today's Scripture
Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another. Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you. For the Scriptures tell us: Whoever wants to embrace true life and find beauty in each day must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize.
1 Peter 3:8-11

Today's Thought
The people of your future will be tested in a moment of your present… Remember they didn’t leave you, they just didn’t qualify for the future you. Remember, it’s the one who leaves that is the one who was rejected.

Today's Confession
Lord, thank you for removing every person from my life who will not qualify for my future. I forgive those who have hurt me by leaving and walk in the freedom of your love and your grace. Thank you for always keeping me surrounded by the right people and allowing me to draw closer to those who will qualify for my future.
