Out of His own mercy and goodness He has made me good.

Out of His own mercy and goodness He has made me good; my errors have become adornments and my fair fame has been spread all around.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Tulsidas’s Ramayana, Bharat, brother of Prince Rama (a divine incarnation), bears witness that it is Rama’s mercy alone that made him good: his very errors, once forgiven, became adornments. Today, think back on a past mistake that helped you grow, give thanks for the kindness that lifted you up, and in turn forgive someone a clumsy moment.
