Scripture: Acts 11:17-18
"If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?" When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life."
Reflection:
Peter's realization that God's salvation extends to the Gentiles challenges us to see beyond our limited perspectives. God's plan is inclusive and expansive, reaching beyond cultural and traditional boundaries. Are there areas in your life where you might be limiting God's work due to preconceived notions or biases?
Prayer:
Lord, open my eyes to see Your bigger picture. Help me to embrace Your inclusive love and to break down any barriers that prevent me from sharing Your grace with others. Amen.
Action:
Identify one person or group you have unintentionally excluded from your prayers or outreach. Make a conscious effort to include them in your prayers and actions this week.
