What is the worst thing you ever did? What is the one thing you hope no one ever finds out about? When you have that evil deed fixed in your mind, I want you to ask yourself if God can forgive you. David says, “[God] does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:10-12).

“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

— Jeremiah 31:34

Lord Jesus, help us to remember that Your grace is greater than our sin; that You are always more ready to forgive us than we are to seek Your forgiveness. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
