Ctrl+Alt+Delete  DAILY DEVOTION

It’s as complicated as a soap opera, but this story is real.  David had a beautiful and chaste daughter, Tamar, who was raped by her brother Amnon. Another son of David, Absalom, nursed his anger for two years until he finally killed Amnon.  Absalom fled, came back to Jerusalem three years later but David wouldn’t see him and wouldn’t attempt reconciliation.  Many wrongs by many family members.  The family pursued its own passions, and sin became “sinful beyond measure” (Romans 7:13). 

So it still goes in families. Sin multiplies unless stopped by repentance and made real through reconciliation. Lent is our repentance, our “I’m sorry to God.” He forgives. “Should you not have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?” (Matthew 18:33).  Never be too proud to say, “I’m sorry.”

“Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged”

[...or worse. ] ~Colossians 3;21.

O Spirit, who dost bind our hearts in unity, Who teachest us to find the love from self set free. In all our hearts such love increase that ev’ry home by this release may be the dwelling place of peace.”
Amen.
