Finding Forgiveness in Our Father's Arms
There are many attributes of God’s Character that never cease to amaze me. His Kindness. His Love and Compassion. His Endless Grace. His Mercy. His Sovereignty. But nothing amazes me as much as God’s Forgiveness. In our humanity, we build a structure around who deserves forgiveness and who doesn’t; a hierarchy of sorts based on the offense and the person, ranging from forgivable to unforgivable, deserving and undeserving. But God is not like that.
Unlike us, God is more than forgiving and gracious. Especially towards us. He is Kind and quick to forgive us when we repent with a sincere heart. His Word tells us in Psalm 145:8–9, The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. He doesn’t keep count of all our wrongs.
God, in His Loving Nature, extends His Mercy to us over and over. We slip up. We act in ways that go against His Word. We do things our own way and then when things go wrong, we blame Him for it. Yet still He forgives and loves us unconditionally. He doesn’t keep a record of our wrongs, instead choosing to wipe them away with the Blood of Jesus.
How do we respond to such Love and Forgiveness? We adore Him with praise and worship. In awe and reverence, we serve Him and point people to Jesus. And we walk in the confidence that we are never too far gone to find comfort and belonging in the Loving Arms of our Heavenly Father.
