Words of Encouragement
January - 29 - 2006
Forgiveness is such a sweet blessing. But God does more than forgive! He cleanses and forgets. His love is not metered out or carefully rationed. He pours love upon us if we genuinely seek him as our God and Father. So let's cry out and ask for God's forgiveness and praise the mighty and holy name of The Almighty, confidently knowing that our Father longs to bless us with goodness, mercy, and love.
The Scripture reading is from Psalm 86:4-6.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.
O Precious Father, we call to you wanting you to know how important your love and forgiveness are in our lives. Thank you for sending Jesus to show your love and pay the debt of our sins. Help us to live today as your child: may others see our joy and our passion for you as we seek to live for your glory.
In the name of our Savior, Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
