““I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.”
Isaiah 43:25 NIV
There so many truly amazing things about our God, but his ability and desire to forgive us is on top of my list. When we think of all the times, the issues where we have fallen short of the mark and sinned, we should be thankful that our God forgives. The fact is he forgives us over and over again. The Word says he does so for his own sake. God desires to be in relationship with us thus he must make provision for our sins- so he forgives us!
Stop and think about from your perspective, how many times would you forgive someone for their transgressions? As an example Jesus, told his disciples to forgive 7x 70 not just once or twice. If our God makes such a loving provision for us to forgive us and remember those sins no more- I believe we have a Father who loves us beyond measure.
It is easy to say I forgive you. But, to do it many times and then not remember nor hold a grudge about it is quite a different story. Want to know how much you are loved by God, just think of all the times he has forgiven you. That my friends is true and perfect love that will last forever!
In Christ
