EPHESIANS 1:7-8
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence.”
1 CORINTHIANS 10:12
“If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall”
MATTHEW 6:14
“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly FATHER will forgive you.”
GOD’s grace is amazing. His forgiveness knows no bounds. Whether you make one or one million bad choices, GOD will always take a repentant person back. He will always forgive you because JESUS CHRIST suffered punishment in your place on the cross. So if you mess up, admit it. Don’t let one bad choice lead to another and then another. But also trust that no matter how hard you fall, no matter how low you sink, the grace of GOD for you knows no limits. Turn to the LORD and find full and free forgiveness. Instead of comparing ourselves to someone else, we are best served by reciting the old slave prayer used by Dr Martin Luther King at the end of his sermons: “O GOD, I ain’t what I ought to be, and I ain’t what I’m gonna be, but by Your Grace, I ain’t what I used to be.” Thanks to the grace of GOD.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I thank You for the power of forgiveness, and I choose to forgive everyone who has hurt me. Help me bless those who have hurt me [Romans 12:14]. Help me walk in righteousness, peace, and joy, demonstrating Your life here on earth. I choose to be kind and compassionate, forgiving others, just as You forgave me…In JESUS’ Holy Name, Amen.
Forgiven,
