Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.
- Luke 7:47
Those who are forgiven much, love much.
What a beautiful truth that the Lord Jesus gave to us.
Our sins are never too many to receive forgiveness.
The greater the sins, the greater the forgiveness.
When we are in Christ Jesus we are not condemned. God created us knowing our flaws and struggles. He only asks that we give them to him. Then the Lord would give us back his grace and mercy.
How wonderful is that?
We serve a gracious and merciful God who doesn’t reward us according to our iniquities. He separates it from us as far as the East is to the West.
When we receive that mercy, it causes us to give it to others.
We know that if the Lord can forgive us on our darkest day, we can do the same for someone else.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me to be more like you. Allow me to be merciful and gracious to those in error. I know that when I make an error you are merciful to me. Help me to remain humble in that knowledge. Help me to have a heart that forgives and his empathetic towards others.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
With Love,
Corrin Hallett

Forgiveness is one of the hardest tasks in life. But, I truly believe that God wants us to forgive others for their trespasses against us….and be free from the hold that bitterness has on us. God is merciful….and I do believe he forgives us for our wrong doings if we just ask …and are truly sorry. Life is too short to not find forgiveness in your heart for others.. Thank you Corrin. This was a good reminder today.
