Forgiveness


Num:14:19 In keeping with your unfailing love, please pardon the sin of this people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.
Next verse says, Then the Lord said, "I will pardon them"

No sin is too great that God cannot forgive.
No sin is too heavy the Jesus couldn't carry it on the cross.
His unfailing love is the reason for the forgiveness you received. He did not wait for the Israelites to seek pardon, so that He could extent His hand of forgiveness.
He just forgave them - because of His unfailing love. That is the epitome, because 1Cor:13 says that love never keeps a record of being wronged.
Because of His unfailing Agape love for me, He doesn't keep a list of my wrongdoings. He just forgave.
You might have messed up you life. Or you might not realize you have messed it up, but enjoy in the dirt, still lurking around sin. The choice that God has made, is to forgive your sins because He loves you unfailingly.
What is your choice?
What do you want to do with this sin that God is trying to point out?
The first step of seeking reinstation with God is to admit that you have wronged and you have messed it up by hiding it or trying to solve it on your own. All in vain. When we realize that we are helpless, only then we understand that we need help. Seeking forgiveness from God out of a genuine heart and not to gain something from Him, not to grant your wish. But because you realize that you have hurt God.

Forgive me Lord, I have grossly messed up my life. Sorry that I have hurt you heart. Sorry that I have disappointed you. Out of your unfailing magnificient love, please forgive me and like David I pray that you would restore the joy of salvation. Amen

Name

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Joel:2:32 In His name there is salvation. And if you call on His name you will be saved for sure.  Jesus.  Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end.  In Him and through Him and for Him everything was created.  Son of God.  Son of David.  Root of Jesse.  Lion of Judah. The Lamb who was slain.  In His name there is freedom. In His name there is deliverance.  Why?  Because He alone has done the redemptive act on the cross. No other name could do that. Sinless perfect lamb of God became a sin offering instead of me.  He alone is worthy to do that. Therefore His name frees. His name delivers. His name saves. Jesus.  Image credit:   https://www.photoland.in/product/wood-arts/wooden-name-plate/personalized-name-board-name-plate-wooden-engraved-name-plate-design-10/

Keep your promise forever

Ps:146:6 He keeps every promise forever.  Everyone loves promises. It is even more beautiful when the promise is fulfilled.  God is a God of promises and He is faithful. What He promises He always fulfills. Not even one goes wayward.  There is no doubt about the general promises He makes in the Bible. One by one we see them fulfilled through the story of Israel and early church.  There are enough and more personal promises which are staring at you face on. He is faithful to fulfill all of them too forever. It is upto us to believe and live a peaceful life trusting in the One who called us. Rather than like a high tension wire, ready to snap.  Can we believe - He will take care. He is enough. He is sufficient. He is faithful. He never changes. He will not sleep nor will He slumber. He keeps His promises forever. Amen.  Image credit:  https://everydaypower.com/promise-quotes/

Rain

For the rain He sends demonstrates His faithfulness Joel:2:23 The rain keeps coming. Season after season. Showers of blessings. Not mercy drops. It proves He is a good God. He is fully in control. He cares for us.  We can see rains as either a curse or as a blessing. How we see it and acknowledge it increases our faith to Him who is faithful. He continues to shower His blessings no matter what the circumstances are. For He is always good. He is always merciful. He is always faithful. Open our eyes and see.  Image credit:  https://www.britannica.com/science/rain

Damascus

O Damascus. You have sinned again and again. You have bet down my people in Gilead. You have threshed the grains with iron sledges (Amos:1:3). You have been cruel. You have been rebellious.  But in that road to you O Damascus. I will raise up my most used servant. He himself had tortured my own children, my own church. But I will give one opportunity which he cannot resist. Instead of the blood he shed, I will enable him to win souls for me. In that road to you, O Damascus, the cruel Saul will become the gentiles' Paul.  Through you O Damascus I will prove yet again that my hand is not too short to rescue anyone whom I want to save. No pit is too dark that I can't go there to redeem. The cross is the reason. The world will know, O Damascus through you. You will know, O Damascus because of the change you will see in yourself.  Through you O Damascus, everyone will see that the worst of sin that they have committed will be forgiven. No matter how dirty they are, they

Storytelling is an art

The Bible is God's story of redemption of mankind through a set of people called Israel. It describes their choice, their obedience, their disobedience, their rebellion, their being rejected and they rejecting.  Does that mean God is concerned about Israel alone? Does that mean God shows favouritism to these set of people? That He will forgive all their sins based on their obedience and faith of their forefathers?  There were other set of people right? In the Bible itself - the Edomites, the Amorites, the Egyptians, the Moabites. Why in the Bible God talks about punishing and killing and removing these guys for the sake of Israel? Why is Israel so special to God?  As I said already - Bible is a book centered around Israel. Just as Harry Potter series is the story about Harry Potter and not about Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger. For their stories we need other spin offs.  But still in the Bible we see these other guys also being blessed or punished. Israel also. God is n

Delight

Ps:147:11 The Lord's delight is in those who fear Him If you delight in Him, He will delight in you. Oh! Is it like tit for tat?  No dear bard! He has already delighted in you. He has loved you while you were still His enemies. You are mine He declares. You are His signet ring, He proclaims.  Not because you fear Him. Not because He foreknew you would fear Him. But because He loves. Hosea was asked to marry a harlot and he continued to love her despite her unfaithfulness. Just like He continues to delight in you oh! Bard despite your persistance and adamancy. Oh! What love. Where else can you find such love.  Image credit:  https://butternutbakeryblog.com/moist-chocolate-cake/

Healing

Hos:14:4 Then I will heal you of your faithlessness As you keep coming back to God's bosom with repentance, He will heal you of your faithlessness. Man has so fallen that the healing of faithlessness takes effort, takes time, takes a lot of grace.  His lovingkindness heals you of this that hampers you most. Your faithlessness, the root cause of your problems, will be healed.  For it is said, without faith it is impossible to please God. From that plight, it is His promise that you will be healed.  And He is faithful. He is true to His word. And when He says it will happen for sure. As you keep coming back to Him, He will heal. What an assurance. Thank you Jesus.  Image credit: https://www.hopechurchhouston.org/blog/2015/3/4/heal-what-a-concept
