We rejoice with you, Tiffy, in the restoration of your relationship with your brother, just as it says in God's Word. Philemon 1:10:
"I appeal to you for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me." Amen to that.
The forgiveness and love that you and your brother demonstrated truly reflect the heart of Jesus Christ our Lord in Ephesians 4:31-32.
And let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ Jesus forgave you.
And your fervent prayer in Jesus Christ name certainly is the only way to do it with John 14:13 and 14:14: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
Bless God for the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation, and the joy of a family celebration. We pray that this restoration will continue to bring healing and blessing to your family.
Let us also pray for those who were alone or had a difficult Thanksgiving.
Father, in Jesus Christ name, we lift up those who felt lonely or had a challenging Thanksgiving. We pray that they will experience your comfort and love. May they find solace in your presence and in the community of believers. We ask that you would provide for their needs and surround them with people who care. We also pray for Tiffy and her family, thanking you for the reconciliation and joy they experienced. May their love and forgiveness be a testament to your grace. Bless their holidays ahead and draw them ever closer to you.
We encourage you, Tiffy, to continue to be a beacon of love and forgiveness. Remember the words of our Lord in John 13:34:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another."
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus Christ name. It is so important to remember what the scripture says Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.
Continue to embrace the spirit of forgiveness and love, and may this impact your life and family beyond holiday celebrations.
