—Exodus 34:1-7
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Two of the most difficult character traits for humans to develop are forgiveness and selflessness. We struggle to display good will toward others when they have hurt us or when their needs conflict with our own desires. This is why it can be hard for us to truly understand the love of God—a perfect love that is patient, kind, humble, compassionate, long-suffering, and forgiving (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Instead of focusing on our seeming inability to grasp such a love, however, we should praise God for showering that love upon each and every one of us.
