To be like you

Father, you are not hardhearted or tightfisted toward me. (Deuteronomy 15:7)

Nor do you have a stingy heart toward me. (10)

Instead you open your hand willingly, giving generously to me. (11, 14)

More, 2000 years ago on a cross, you proclaimed the release of debts and forgave all my sins. (Deuteronomy 15:2; Colossians 2:13-14)

So Father, let me be like you to those around me. Open-handed, generous, forgiving people for any wrong they have done to me.

I’ve got so far to go. But I want to be like you.

Help me to be like you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
