    Good morning! I am so thankful for a God that accepts us as we are and constantly desires for us to grow! I know for me, the hardest person to forgive is always myself. But if God has already forgiven me, who am I to hold a wrong against myself?

    “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

    I am thankful for a God that has forgiven me! How undeserving I often feel, but He does not want us to live with guilt and shame, He has traded our sorrow for joy!

    God doesn’t just forgive us, but He helps us to forgive others! When we recognize that God has forgiven all of our sin, how can we not forgive others – it should change our perspective! We must forgive others as Christ has forgiven us. Forgiving others produces freedom for both people – but often times, when we harbor unforgiveness, we are the one that experiences the most pain. 

    Take a moment to ask God to check your heart and life and show you areas where you might need to ask Him for forgiveness. Then, we need to forgive others who have wronged or offended us!

    Heaven Father, thank You so much for offering me the gift of forgiveness. Show me any areas in my life that I need to bring before You in order to receive forgiveness and healing. Please forgive me for my sin and help me to forgive others. I trust You to handle each situation according to Your perfect will! In Jesus Name – AMEN!
