Good morning! It’s Friday! I hope you all have had a great week! My week has been blessed for sure! Although there was something I did that I felt bad about. I have a cousin, that for the last 35 years, I have always wished him a happy birthday on the day of his birthday. I knew it was coming, and I totally forgot to call him! I felt awful to be honest. I called him the next day and of course all was well!
Have you ever done something that maybe you didn’t intend to? Or something you knew better than to do, but did it in spite of it all? I have. Many times unfortunately. Now we’ve potentially upset someone. Damages have been done. Now what do we do? If you’re like me, you’re not able to shake it until you try to make it right.
Have you ever done this with your journey with the Lord? Again, I absolutely have. The wonderful news here, is that He will not hold it against us! His grace will abound! 1 John 1:9 simply erases all doubt on whether we can find forgiveness or not. (If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.)
What a beautiful thought! We can admit our short fall, ask for forgiveness and (I love the next part!) He is FAITHFUL to forgive us! But, because of how awesome He is, God doesn’t stop there! The Bible says He will cleanse us! He cleans all of the mess from our hearts if we let Him!
Be blessed today family! Walk in His grace today! And as always, remember the words of my pastor, Timothy Payne, “You Are Loved”!
