Forgiveness!

We need to confess our sins.  Then we are promised that GOD, who is faithful, will forgive us and purify us from all the unrighteousness.

This is such a glorious gift that we have.  All we need to do is to confess our sins.  But it means more.  When we confess our sins, our sins have convicted our conscience and they have become burdens to us and to our way of life.

However, once we confess them, we have acknowledged them and we know that we have sinned.  This caused a cleansing of our souls.  It does not mean that we can simply say "LORD forgive my sins and not mean it and not be sorry".  For GOD, who created us can read our hearts and if there is no remorse for the things we have done, GOD knows and we will certainly  not be forgiven.

The rider to this is that when we are forgiven, we are more likely to forgive those who have sinned against us because through the forgiveness we have received, we begin to understand the anxiety and burdens of those who sin against us.  

Today let us beg our FATHER to forgive us and then let us forgive those who sin against us.

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU for YOUR mercy and YOUR grace. Forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me.  I am so sorry that I keep sinning FATHER and please help me to live a life which is in line with YOUR perfect plan.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
