Key Takeaway

As we respond more and react less, we discipline better. When we make mistakes, God gives us the way to reconcile by asking forgiveness! Win, Win!

Now it's Your Turn to Apply it!

Application #1

This week, practice intentionally responding instead of reacting. Take a deep breath and count to 10 before you react to a situation.

Application #2

Ask the Lord to show you places in your family relationships where forgiveness is needed. Then say to each relationship,

“Will you forgive me?”
