While I deeply value the encouragement to rest in God’s forgiveness, I was troubled by the way the message framed the struggle of self-forgiveness—particularly the claim that not forgiving oneself is committing the “sin of pride.” As someone who has personally wrestled with self-forgiveness, I know that the journey is rarely rooted in arrogance or defiance of God’s word. More often, it stems from deep wounds, shame, trauma, or a long-standing inability to see oneself as worthy of grace—despite believing in God’s forgiveness intellectually. To label this struggle as sinful feels dismissive of the complex, emotional, and spiritual realities many people face. What people in this place often need is not condemnation, but compassionate guidance. They need to know that God is not only just, but tender and patient; that transformation and healing take time; and that God is near to the brokenhearted, not disappointed in them for still being in process. When devotionals lean into shame or imply moral failure in areas of deep struggle, they risk pushing readers further into isolation and discouragement. But when they speak truth with empathy, they can become lifelines of hope. I hope you will consider offering language in future devotionals that reflects the patience, kindness, and gentleness of Christ—especially for those who are still finding their way toward wholeness. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for the heart behind the work you do. I believe devotionals can be powerful tools for healing—and with some greater sensitivity in tone, even more so. Regards ### 3/5 — Update needed? *2020-03-31, version 4.8.1* App hasn’t been able to open for me for the last couple weeks. Not sure if it needs updating? ### 1/5 — This is a very poor app *2018-11-01, version 4.8.1* Very bad app not pleased with it at all very slow I tried to look for a bible reference but it just came up with a stupid message and that was not what I was looking for. Please fix your app I would like to find stuff when I look for it. This app is to emo/dark can you please change the colour to orange please. ### 4/5 — Calendar *2017-12-08, version 4.8.1* Why do the calendar dates not correspond with the actual date the reading it intended for? I feel I should press the day I’m on and get the day I’m on, not press the date for the previous day to get today’s reading. Otherwise it’s a clean easy-to-use app. ### 3/5 — Small print? *2017-06-08, version 3.26.0* Even when 'larger' print is pressed, the print is very small on my iPad. This fault has only occurred over the last few weeks. Can it be corrected please? ### 5/5 — A word from God everyday *2015-12-06, version 3.26.0* This app is so good help to focus on God's word as I start my day God Bless ADnan GILL ### 4/5 — Good app. *2015-07-30, version 3.26.0* Love the accessibility of the message, however the grammar isn't very good. Apostrophes are missing and it seems to be rushed. The paper version seems to have correct punctuation. Love the ideas and message though! ### 4/5 — Insightful *2015-06-07, version 3.26.0* A great app for thinking about how to live as a child of the Lord. Easy to read and understand, it's an insight into Christianity with a 21st century view point. Only criticism is the terrible spelling and seems to be bereft of any punctuation. He'll becomes hell, we'll becomes well. Doesn't change my understanding of the message but annoying none the less. ### 1/5 — Won't load! *2014-07-12, version 3.21.2* The app won't load anything except the bible. Keeps telling me I'm not connected to the internet, but I am, all other apps run fine except this one. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-06-13, version 3.11.1* I have been searching for this app before. <3 Now I finally found it. It's so encouraging and great for the spirit <3 ## Frequently asked questions about Word For You Today ### What is Word For You Today?
