Day 228 of 365

Matthew 11:29

Scripture

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Matthew 11:29

Reflection

Jesus describes Himself as gentle and lowly in heart. He isn't standing over you with a clipboard of failures; He is inviting you to find rest in His kindness.

Prayer

Father, thank You for Your gentleness. Help me to be kind to myself as You are kind to me.

A moment to reflect

How can you show 'gentleness' to yourself today when you make a mistake?

Carry this with you

When you mess up today, replace a self-critical thought with a thought of God's grace.
