FORGIVENESS

My God went to a cross and bore all my sins for me to give me salvation and
to cleanse my soul. He forgave the men even before they smote Him, He washed
away their sins there on the cross. Jesus gives us the ultimate example of
forgiveness in that as he hung there on the cross he said "Father forgive
them for they know not what they do", I have made mistakes in my life, I have
sinned, my sins are different from yours and as yours are different from
mine, But no matter what the sin no matter how hanus the sin God will and
does forgive, It is not meant for us to understand, because God's ways are
not our own. Some people in life make mistakes and are put in situations that
lend itself to evil. Does that excuse what we do; no, it doesn't. God does
not excuse our sin; God hates sin, that is why He could not look upon His Son
on the cross as he became our sin for us. He does however forgive us of our
sins and He, in His ultimate wisdom, forgets. Mistakes are made as young men
and women that we regret more than can ever be told. God forgives, shouldn't
we? Yes, we should, we should forgive mistakes made in the past. If not we
could not tolerate being around anyone in our lives, because we have all
hurt and offended each other in some way. Some men believe that you can't
make just one bad mistake, but that you continue through you life making the
same mistakes over and over. I, however, do not believe this as being the
truth men have the ability, with the help of God Almighty, to refrain from
repeating their sins again and again. God teaches that all things are
possible through Christ our Lord, and that if a man or woman gives their life
over to God He can and will have power over their life, I Have given my life
to God, I am willing to try and live my life as close to the way Jesus lived
as I can. Will I fail at times; yes, I will. Will God allow me to fall, no,
not if we keep our eyes on Him and depend on Him for Guidance and let Him be
the light of our lives. The point of all this is that God is capable of all.
He can change anyone and use anyone no matter what sin they may have
committed. As men, sometimes that is hard to understand we want to follow the
flesh and fill our hearts with hate, but in doing this we only hurt ourselves
and the people around us. God Bless you all and May He give you a Forgiving
Heart.
