The Power of Forgiveness: God's heart to us!
The word forgiveness naturally conjures up a variety of emotions, it reminds us of people that we should forgive, people that are hard to forgive and people we don't want to forgive. It can remind us that we need forgiveness but sometimes don't know how to receive or earn it.
We just celebrated the greatest day for Christians, Resurrection Sunday when Jesus rose from the died to grant life to us all. You see Christ was moved by love for us, and His love provided for us a since of grace and forgiveness.
You can think differently about yourself, because you have been forgiven. You see heavens grace was bestowed upon you through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We deserve punishment but have recieved grace, forgiveness for our wrongs, sins past, present and future.
Here are three things to say each day:
- God's love was demonstrated for me because Christ died for me
- I have been justified by the Blood of the Lamb
- I have been saved from the wrath, our failures, our sins and God grace is mine!
When you think of forgiveness focus on that God loves you, died for you, blood washes you and punishment is no longer yours. You are free, you are not a caged bird struggling from freedom, or to be forgiven, you are forgiven and allow God's love to pour into your life!
Blessings and Love,
