BIBLE VERSE for YOU ARE FORGIVEN

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.  As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
 ( Psalm 103:12-13 NIV)

REFLECTION for YOU ARE FORGIVEN

When God sees us, he does not see us the way that we see ourselves. We often see ourselves as just a sinner who is less than worthy. That is because we see ourselves as a total package that includes the sin of our past or the “junk in our trunk.” While we are to be humble and view God as the leader of our lives instead of us, we also need to understand that through a relationship with Jesus Christ and active repentance for our sins, we are forgiven.

In this Psalm it is clear: whether it was 15 years ago or 15 minutes ago, sin has been removed from us (as long as we repent and ask His forgiveness). The Lord has compassion on you the way that parents have compassion on their own children.

PRAYER TIME for YOU ARE FORGIVEN

Spend time in God’s presence truly repenting of sin in your heart. God does not like sin because it separates us from the ability to walk fully with Him in His plan for us. Pray especially about sin that has not yet been addressed or dealt with. Ask God to reveal to you areas of sin or unforgiveness with another person that may be holding you back from all that God has for you.
