HE ALWAYS FORGIVES US

“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”

Luke 15:20 KJV

Just as the father forgave his son when he went home to his father, so our Heavenly Father forgives us when we go home to Him.  A dad said to his son “You have hurt me and shamed me for the last time.  I wash my hands of you.  You are no longer my son.  You are a disgrace to our family”. 

What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that no matter how many times we hurt our Heavenly Father that He will never say to us “I wash My hands of you”.  He always forgives us when we confess our sins and tell Him we’re sorry.  Our Heavenly Father loves us unconditionally.

Heavenly Father, we know that we hurt You at times and we’re sorry.  Thank You for never saying to us “I wash My hands of you”.  I ask that You search my heart and if there is anything that hurts You, please forgive me.  Please comfort all who are lonely, hurting and discouraged.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
