October 28 Devotional

Dear Friends,
Artists are a sensitive lot.  You are all artists in one way or another.  Some sing, some play instruments, some act, some paint, some write, some dance, etc.  As artists, we tend to wear our emotions and our passions on our sleeve, easy for the whole world to see.  It’s what we do.  It’s who we are.  Consequently, we are extra vulnerable to the words and actions of others.  This is where grace and forgiveness abounds!  Forgive and let go.  Remember that you are a child of the King, clothed in righteousness and splendor.  In this, you will have peace and joy.  Love and Hugs, Scott

Do Not Expect to be treated fairly in this life.  People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve.  When someone mistreats you, try to view this as an opportunity to grow in grace.  See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you.  Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight.  Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on Me.  Ultimately, it is My view of you that counts.

As you concentrate on relating to Me, remember that I have clothed you in My righteousness and holiness.  I see you attired in these radiant garments, which I bought for you with My blood.  This also is not fair; it is pure gift.  When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you are much better than fair.  My ways are Love and Peace, which I have poured out into your heart by My Spirit.

Colossians 3:13 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Isaiah 61:10 10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Ephesians 1:7-8 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

Romans 5:5 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
