Your Rhema Verse of the Day:
Here’s today’s Bible Society verse of the day ..
From Colossians Chapter 3 verse 12 to 13
"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. "
And from the Maori Bible;
"Na, kia rite ki te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua, ki te hunga tapu e arohaina ana, kakahuria iho hoki te ngakau tohu tangata, te ngawari, te ngakau papaku, te ngakau mahaki, te manawanui; Kia ata hanga koutou tetahi ki tetahi, me te hohou i te rongo tetahi ki tetahi, ki te mea kei tetahi he take riri ki tetahi: kia rite ki ta te Ariki i hohou nei i te rongo ki a koutou, kia pera ano hoki koutou."
