Day 2 Devotional: Seeing Through God's Eyes

Day 2: The Gift of Extravagant Forgiveness

Reading: Luke 7:41-43; Psalm 103:8-12

Devotional: Jesus taught that those forgiven much, love much. The parable of two debtors reveals a profound truth: our capacity to love flows from our awareness of how much we've been forgiven. The woman at Simon's house loved extravagantly because she understood the magnitude of her forgiveness. She poured out costly perfume, wept openly, and abandoned social propriety—all expressions of gratitude for grace received. Have you grown complacent in your faith, forgetting the depth of sin from which you were rescued? Today, revisit your salvation story. Remember the pit from which God lifted you. Let gratitude for His mercy overflow into compassionate love for others, especially those still trapped in their "as is" condition.
