Forgiveness Freely Given
“I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope” Psalm 130:5
David wrote Psalm 130 from a penitent heart; waiting on God in hopes of His divine grace and lovingkindness to provide forgiveness. We too must come humble and submissive before Him seeking mercy and forgiveness; the bible specifically tells us “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23.
It is a privilege to call on God amid our deepest fears and iniquities. Jesus died on the cross for the propitiation of our sins and only by His grace are we are no longer guilty as charged!
Therefore, we can come before His throne of grace bearing our heartfelt repentance. God’s patience and forbearance towards us is a display of His unconditional love.
He lovingly forgives all our iniquities and freely shines His grace on us in a time of need. Lamentations 3:22-23 state “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
So, today if you have really “messed up” and feel that you are unworthy of His love. . . look up to Jesus, His atoning blood has made the way for us to live in a right relationship with our heavenly Father; If He brought us back to God…then we can trust in His faithfulness to keep us forever. 1 John 1:9 state “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Let us pray for God to give us a clean heart today and always. . . “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10.
God blessings for a great day in the Lord!
