GOD FORGIVES

Alot of us live with a hidden fear that God is angry at us. Somewhere, sometime, some Sunday school class or some television show convinced us that God has a whip behind His back, a paddle in His back pocket, and He's going to nail us when we've gone too far. No concept could be more wrong! Our Savior's Father is very fond os us and only wants to share His love with us.
Could we use the genuine fresh air of God's forgiveness? Would we love to stand in the approval of God again? How do we do it? By genuinely admitting to God that we've made a mistake, knowing that God loves us more than He hates our mistakes. And knowing that He will forgive those mistakes.
Does the Word of God say, "There is limited condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"? No. Does it say, "There is some condemnation..."? No. It says, "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Think of it regardless of our sin, we are not guilty!

We're not perfect, Father, but we are yours. We're not what we should be, but we do claim your salvation and your grace. We ask you to make us every day more and more into the image of Jesus Christ. We stand amazed that you would have such mercy upon us to forgive us time and time again. Thank you Father for the immeasurable depth of your grace. Amen
