Ephesians 4:2 (NRSV)
Read Ephesians 4:2 on biblegateway.com
Verse 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Devotion
So here I am, proud of my humility, aggressively gentle, impatient to receive patience, and too often intolerant of those who do not see the world or the faith the way I do. I decry the ugly face of intolerant religion in the world, but then that same face looks out at me from my shaving mirror. I can only bow down in gratitude to one who died “ … to save a wretch like me” and now works within me to make me something a little less wretched.
Prayer
I give it to you, Lord. I give myself to you. I’m counting on you to do something with me! Amen.
