Who is Jesus? #54 (Forgiver Cont.)

Forgiveness. I can't think of anything in my life that I have more earnestly coveted/needed than forgiveness. There was a time in my life when I offended and disappointed many people. I wanted their forgiveness and I needed God's.
David said it this way. "For the sake of your name O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great," (Psalm 25:11).
It is amazing how that the tremendous burden of sin can be lifted once I accept the forgiveness of God. How refreshing - a sense of stating over. Only God can do that.
The forgiveness of men is sometimes slow in coming, but God's is quick to remove the guilt from a penitent heart.
He will forgive, "though my iniquity is great."

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
