One Good Thing Every Day: April 30, 2013

“If we don’t consistently and deliberately empty ourselves of pride and confess our sins to God and one another, seeds of bitterness may take root. Left untended, they hold the potential to choke out God’s joy in our lives.” from A Jane Austen Devotional

Hebrews 12:15 NIV

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Ephesians 4:32 NLT

Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
