HE HAS FORGIVEN US

“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.  He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”

Psalms 103:8-12 KJV

My home has some ugly stains on the wall.  They were there when I moved in and it used to upset me to see them.  Now I don’t even see them because I am keeping my eyes on Jesus and thank Him for all He as done for me.  No matter how many lies satan tells us, God has forgiven us if we are saved.

God has set an example for us to follow.  We need to forgive those who hurt us just as He forgives us when we hurt Him and do and say things that break His heart.  If we want people to forgive us, we need to forgive them.  Remember, there was only one perfect Person and His Name is Jesus.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and for adopting me into Your family.  I pray that You will comfort and encourage all who are hurting and discouraged.  Please encourage every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
