God's Minute

I SAID, "O LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME; HEAL ME, FOR I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU." ( PSALM 41:4 *NIV )

Dear N276,
When we fall victim to sin, we may repent of our sins and ask God for forgiveness. For it is written: "COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER," SAYS THE LORD. "THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED AS CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE LIKE WOOL." ( ISAIAH 1:18 )

This is because: IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. ( 1 JOHN 1:9 ) FOR YOU, LORD ARE GOOD, AND READY TO FORGIVE, AND ABUNDANT IN MERCY TO ALL WHO CALL ON YOU. ( PSALM 86:5 )

Further, God has even promised: I WILL FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS AND WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE. ( HEBREWS 8:12 ) So never feel that you have done something that God will not forgive.

Therefore N276, PRAISE BE TO THE LORD, OUR SAVIOR, WHO DAILY BEARS OUR BURDENS. ( PSALM 68:19 ) Praise HIM indeed! Amen.
