FORGIVEN

Everybody has regrets. I regret all the pain I’ve caused to others. I was unable to let the Lord carry this burden, and I realized that I wasn’t seeing things the way He was. I had confessed, repented, apologized. But I wasn’t owning my forgiveness. This is the Lord’s message to every one of His children: I am the Lamb of God who took away your sin (John 1:29). I have pardoned ALL your iniquities. My blood cleanses you from all sin. I have crowned you with covenant love and tender mercies. As far as the east is from the west, so far have I removed your transgressions from you (Psalm 103: 3, 4, 12, 1 John 1:7). As I let these words sink in, my burden of guilt was lifted. May we never stop believing that we are forgiven.
