God sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. 1John 4: 9
I am amazed! Not only am I amazed that the God of the universe forgives our sin, black as a starless night, but that He decides to remember our sin no
more! He chooses to see us in our forgiven-by-the-blood-of-Jesus state, with hearts white as snow and waiting to greet Him, upon His second coming.
How loving our God is! How filled with tender
mercies and compassion! How kind and merciful!
We, in our human nature, are not inherently forgiving of our fellow-man. We, are not able to put aside the demeaning or hurtful words of another .
There isn’t anything innately good about us because we are born of the seed of Adam; Adam and Eve fell -and being part of this fallen world, we fail, as well. God is able to put aside our sin. And sent His Son into this world to become sin in our stead; so that we may live eternally, forgiven, with Him.
So great is His mercy toward those who revere Him: As far as the East is from the West. So far has He removed our
transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame: He
remembers that we are dust. N.K.J.V. Psalm 103: 11-14
Jeremiah 31:34 N.K.J.V. I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be
my people. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin, I will remember no more.
Cross-reference Hebrews 10: 17
May the Lord fill us with His great compassion so that we may replicate the love of our Father to those around us!
A Poem from Carol to You:
LIKE YOU, LORD
Steady me, Lord. I slip and tumble, plummeting but not shattered. Your
power is great! It breaks my descent and makes me stand,
grounded, undisturbed.
Sustain me, Lord. Make me tough and bold, unwavering, in your likeness, unswervin in my resolve. Secure me, dear Father, to slumber, sweet, in your presence, as day desceds or as morning mists. Bestow your power upon me.
Lord, hold me steadfast, unfaltering in your fixed grip and –
tender embraces.
Oh, timeless Christ, establish my ways.
