Satan wants us to believe that God is hard-hearted, that He is quick to judge and slow to forgive. Nothing could be farther from the truth. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning…” (Lamentations 3:22 & 23 RSV). No matter how miserably we might have failed, no matter how far we might have fallen, He stands ready to forgive us. We do not have to prove ourselves, or earn God’s forgiveness, or promise to never sin again. As David testified:
“…the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.”
— Psalm 103:17
Lord Jesus, help us focus on Your mercy rather than on our sins. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
