Selected reading:
John 13: 1-11
Reflection:
When Jesus was with his disciples he knew he would be betrayed. Even so he loved them. He did not fear or try to stop Judas. Instead he accepted and gave them a final teaching. He washed their feet, a sign of humility even though he is the son of God. He still loved Peter even though he knew he would deny him three times. He was patient and humble.
This reading showed me to love others even if you know they have or will wrong you. Jesus showed me to love with no limits. He forgives even when not asked for forgiveness. Jesus showed that if he can forgive the greatest sin that I can forgive all sins. It is not necessary to hold grudges, I can be happier if I live in love and forgiveness.
I am thankful for loving friends and family
Intention: anyone who is sick
It's such a simple truth, that we can be happier when we forgive and reject holding grudges. And yet, we have such a hard time with it? How great of an impact on the world could we have if we sought to love and forgive like Jesus did here? Thanks for sharing! God bless! (Sorry for such a late reply!)
