Clothe yourself with Love Col. 3:14

  TUE Ev Prayer Reflection 032321 (Jeremiah 25: 8-17; Romans 10:1-13; John 9:18-41) After reading today’s scriptures, I couldn’t help it but think of the way we tend to act within our relationship with God.

This we can understand because, we are the ones that are impatient, easily angered and unforgiving. God is not like that, but surely, he can get tired of behaviors of disobedience. By sending the prophet to the potter, God wanted also to invite all of us his audience to observe the potter and the prophet wit...
