Abundant Forgiveness




Good Morning Everyone,

When you were a child, did you ever do something so
wrong, you felt your parents could never forgive you?
And when you told them, you probably got yelled at
or disciplined, but after that, did they not hold you
and love you? And gave you another chance to
start over, and love you as much as ever?

The remarkable thing about God is His love for us.
His love is so far beyond our comprehension. His
word promises there is no condemnation to those who
are IN him. This means that once we ask Jesus to
come in our hearts and be our Savior, and we repent
of our sins, confessing them, and turning away from them,
that we have no more condemnation hanging over our
head. It is all forgiven, buried, gone. Cleansed away
by the precious blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

So when you think, because you have made mistakes,
or sinned, that you are worthless, or less than honorable,
or no good, think again. God offers us a fresh start
every time we confess those sins. He offers us a new way
of life. And if we can learn to leave those sins behind
and take a new path with Him guiding us, and teaching us,
the mistakes will become less and less. Because we will
choose to be more careful in our speech, and in our
actions, and we will seek first, God's will.. not ours.

My friends, God loves you so much. No matter what
you have done, what things you are hiding. No matter
what you have said or how you might have sinned.
God will forgive you, if you ask, and are truly repentant.
No games, no hidden agendas, true repentance is necessary.

And then? Your sins are gone. You have a new clean
life, and a heavenly Father who loves you beyond your
wildest imaginations. He loves you dearly. You are His,
called by your name, a child of the King of Kings.

Embrace Him for all you are worth :)

Be free, let the past be the past.
There is no condemnation to those who love Jesus.
Don't allow the condemnation in your mind, home or life
ever again.




For the son of man is come to seek and save that which
was lost.
Luke 19:10

Forgiveness Is Near

I have heard of a girl who in a evil hour left her mother, won
by the promises of some villain, and traveled to a large city.
And there went down to the lowest depths. At last, sad at heart,
broken of spirit and perishing with hunger she thought she would
creep back and see the old home again, and die.

Of course her mother would never receive her anymore, but
nobody in the village would know her, and it would be good to see the cottage and the flowers of the garden and to hear
the birds sing again.

And so with heavy heart and wearied steps she wandered
on until she reached the little village. It was night when
she got there. Footsore and faint she could just stand by
the gate, and dark as it was, the stars would give light
enough to see the place -- and there she would stand and
try to feel again as she had done long ago.

But as she came near, a light glimmered along the path,
and she saw it was her mother's cottage. Long ago her
mother must have gone to bed. What did this mean?
And wondering she came on, and she found the gate
wide open, and the gate had always been carefully shut,
and noiselessly she crept up to the door. It was on the
latch, the door that always used to be bolted and barred
at night. She stepped inside and whispered "Mother."
Ah, it was enough, the arms were about her neck.

Their tears mingled together, and love as deep and true
and full as ever, welcomed her home and loved her
into goodness. And she found that ever since she had
left her home that door had been on the latch, that
gate was left wide open, and in the window was the
candle set to guide her steps. This was a mother's love,
but very far beyond that ... is our heavenly Savior's great love
for us.

******************************
I have often felt that many things that bring us to our knees,
teach us while we are down there to learn to pray.


These possibilities are open to everyone. 
Don't tell God you are not good enough, do what He asks.
Don't tell God to send someone else, He asked you.
Don't tell God you don't have time to pray, He said seek me first.
Don't neglect the things of God.  He said we are to
pick up His cross daily and follow Him. 
Don't tell God anything is bigger than His ability.
God is the Great I Am, I am whatever you need.

There is no pit so deep, God's love is not deeper still.

Not my will but thine oh Lord.
