"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." Ephesians 1:7, NIV~

     Good Morning Lord! Thank you for the blood of your son Jesus and the forgiveness you give us. Don't you ever think you can't be forgiven. GOD's grace is out of this world. HE forgives us anything. But you have to truly repent & come with a humble heart.

     Have you ever felt that there is something you have done and you will never be forgiven for? Well... wake up and smell the roses! I got news for you! GOD gave HIS son so we could be forgiven for our sins. GOD's grace is out of this world! We may not understand how GOD can forgive a murderer or a child abuser. They deserve to be just put in jail and throw away the key. But that's the human way of dealing with it.

     We also know that no evil will go unpunished. Anyone that breaks the law will pay the consequences. The bad things they do should not be forgiven at all, not even by GOD. But that's our human brain thinking. GOD did not send HIS son to die on the cross just for a few of us. HE send HIS son to die for us ALL! The good, the bad, the ugly and the downright unlovable.

     What make it different? Those who have done wrong and the must unforgivable things (according to human standards) will be forgiven as long as they repent from their sins, accept JESUS as their Lord and Savior; and understand that the grace of GOD is enough. They will still have to pay for what they have done according to our laws. But on GOD's eyes they're still HIS children too.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Have you ever done something, which you know is wrong and think that if you tell anyone you will never be forgiven? Be true to yourself and come to GOD in prayer and ask for HIS forgiveness. Don't let anything damage your relationship with GOD. HE is your best friend for life. Even when HE knows what you did, HE wants to hear it from you. HE wants you to acknowledge it and ask for forgiveness. Whatever it is that you did, somehow hurt someone else, ask for their forgiveness too; even if they don't accept your repentance is a start to let GOD work in their heart too.
