for forgiveness

"The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him. For he knows how we were made; he remembers that we are dust." -Psalms 103.6-14.

He remembers that we are dust...

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love...

to forgive us for all of our sins, how deep a love is that? forgiveness in the hands of God is amazing. i cannot describe the power with my simple mortal words....

u cannot even begin to imagine how God must have hurt when Jesus bore the cross and died for us. yet when we are faced with life's little unpleasantries, we tend to hold grudges for so long. we curse, we blame, and we argue for the unfair treatments, for the injustice done to us....but what wrongs have others done to us so great that we cannot find it in us to forgive?

to put down your axe and ease your anger, to slowly come to terms with the fact that we are merely humans! we have faults! if God can forgive us for all the wrongs we have done to Him, and still to love us the way He does.... what might we have to complain about?
