God Forgives Us Because He Loves Us So!

Charles Spurgeon once said, “The holier a man becomes, the more he mourns his unholiness”.  I think that means that when we first become Christians, we mourn and change the “large” sins in our life.  But as we walk though our journey with Christ, even the smallest of sins trouble us greatly. 

However, we need not fear!  Our Father in Heaven is infinitely merciful to all those who fear Him.  And I must admit that I am always surprised by just how our Father knows exactly where I am-and meets me there.

He’s not just infinitely forgiving, He is also so very loving ?

Psalm 103:11-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass;
    he flourishes like a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
    and its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to children’s children”
