Day 20: Compassion

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Colossians 3:12-14 (The Message)

Lord, may my children be clothed in compassion. May they always see others through Your eyes, even when it is difficult. May you impress upon their hearts that everyone has value and should be treated accordingly. Lord, I pray that others will see You through the love my children show to those they encounter. Amen
