Read:
Betrayal hits hard. When someone we trust hurts us, it’s one of the toughest things to go through. Jesus felt this deeply too when one of his closest friends, Judas, betrayed him. Even though he knew it was coming, Jesus didn’t lash out. Instead, he handled it with grace.
How often do we find ourselves hurt or let down by others? How can we choose to respond, not with anger, but with the same grace Jesus showed? This doesn’t mean the hurt disappears, but it helps us let go of bitterness. Is there someone in your life today you need to forgive, just as Jesus forgave those who betrayed him?
Pray: Jesus, thank you for showing me how to forgive and love, even when I’m hurt. Help me extend grace to those who have wronged me. Amen.
