Day 8 — Gratitude for Imperfect Leaders
- Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:7 …for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
- Reflection: We are grateful that God chooses imperfect people.Our faith resists perfectionism—Holy Love works through the unlikely, the underestimated, the marginalized. With knowledge of suffering, with different perspectives, with alternate experiences … we bring different strengths and insights to our community. Those become contributions that deepen and broaden our capacity for resilience and creativity and integrity.
- Practice: Forgive one small mistake of yours today without self-punishment.
