Day 4: Forgiveness as a Path to Reconciliation

Key Scripture:

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)

Poem excerpt:

No guilt remains, no shame can stay,

When love has swept our sin away. - Mary Mwakalu 

Reflection:

Forgiveness is a vital part of reconciliation. God forgave us first and calls us to extend that forgiveness to others. When we forgive, we join God’s healing work, breaking chains of bitterness and restoring peace.

Prayer:

Lord, soften my heart to forgive, as You have forgiven me. Help me to walk in kindness and tenderhearted love. Amen.
