Why We Need A Forgiving God

Let me start by asking you to write or type how many times you screw up. If you can't at least write down one thing then you are not being honest with yourself. I will tell you that I screw up, in fact before typing this I have screwed up by not making sure I woke up from my nap at the time that I specified so I had to rush writing down a few sentences in my writing book, go to the loo, so that I was five minutes late walking the dog, (she's a cute little thing that looks like an ewok) so after that I almost forgot to say grace and pray over the day, I again woke up late from my nap and had to do my chore during my lunch hour and I know that I will screw up even more by the time that I finish this post (which should be Saturday)! So, I can say that I screw up just as much as you do.

Now my point; this is why we need a forgiveness in our lives so that we do not get controlled by the screw ups in our lives. And I do believe that forgiveness is not meant for those who wronged you, but for you. I also believe that forgiveness truly cuts your tie to those who wronged you. Honesty, a friend of mine put it best, carrying grudges is like you taking poison and expecting the other person to die. God does not want this for you! However the devil does! He comes to steel, kill and destroy after all.

So we all need to know that there is someone who we can truly go to. Someone who we can trust and help us and forgive us when we wronged Him and other men, women and children. Someone who will wipe clean the slate whoever you are and what you have done. All you need to do is confess then to him and pray that He will help you overcome what you have done and help you move on, because even-though H e will forgive you it does not give you the excuse to continue in your sin, no, that is like Jesus has taken your cuffs off and putting it back on.

Please note that I am not telling you off by saying that, I am telling you this so that you would know this so that you can know that if you do this, you will grow. When you grow, you become even more of a threat to the devil and being a threat, this is a good thing. (Yes I do believe that the devil exists as well as Hell) For knowing that the devil exists because he will whisper things that will make you believe that God hates and does not forgive you, this is a lie and when you hear these thoughts put the devil, your enemy, in his place!

If you ask for forgiveness you have it and he loves and has created you. He knows exactly what you have done, so you really can't lie to him and neither can you lie to the devil, which according to the Bible, when the devil speaks lies he speaks his native language. So if you wish to know that you are forgiven, ask for it with a genuine heart. He will not judge you for what you have done for He already knows!

So, do not allow fear to ask for forgiveness for He loves you all and your forgiveness is yours after all the Bible, the Word of God does say that when you become a follower of Jesus Christ He will remove your sin as far as the east id from the west, which is pretty far if you ask me! In-fact there are many times that God has forgiven, and Jesus himself did say that you should forgive seventy times seven, which is a way of saying that you should always forgive. Even the Lords prayer says, forgive our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us!

Now to wrap up, this is why I think that why we need a forgiving God. Next in this series will be why we need a just God, which will be after the next instalment of the Black Weather Arc which is Black Bow the penultimate instalment which will be followed by the Village arc. So may God bless you this week and thank you!
