“I have swept
away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to
me, for I have redeemed you.” – Isaiah 44:22
The beauty of our faith is that we worship and serve the
God who forgives. God has the power to invade our lives and punish us for our
sins; instead, He sends His Son Jesus into our world to offer mercy,
forgiveness, and grace.
Perhaps you are carrying guilt from the past or still
burdened with regrets. Maybe those mistakes depress you and cloud your life
with shame. Re-read today’s verse and know this: God can disperse those clouds
and open up your life to His brightness. Jesus can and will forgive us,
especially of those things that we cannot forgive ourselves. Through Him, we
can return to God for Christ is our Redeemer, the One who is willing to delete
our guilt, reboot our lives, and reset us on a path which leads to God’s
everlasting love and favor.
Prayer: Lord
Jesus, thank You for saving us from ourselves by forgiving us completely. Let this
new day begin a fresh path for our lives. In Your Holy Name, we thankfully
pray. Amen.
