Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

—Ps 103:4

• When Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy were crowned at the end of C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, they were honored as the kings and queens of Narnia. Despite being children, they were anointed as royalty.

• Praise God, the One who alone deserves to wear a crown, who yet chooses to crown us with love and compassion. May we wear this love, richly bestowed upon us through the Lord Jesus, like a crown. May the awareness of God’s kindness and compassion settle on our heads and heart today, reminding us of his greatness.
