God Want's to Forgive

[NRIV]Micah 7:18/19 “Lord, who is a God like you? You forgive sin. You forgive your people when they do what is wrong. You don’t stay angry forever. Instead, you take delight in showing your faithful love to them. 19 Once again you will show loving concern for us. You will completely wipe out the evil things we’ve done. You will throw all our sins into the bottom of the sea”

   Micah asks here in reverence, ‘how is it that we do all these things wrong against you & others, yet you bestows upon us mercy & grace?

   V19 “You will completely wipe out the evil things we’ve done” … What an awesome God we have that we have a personal daily connection with. That He is going to over look ALL the .. “evil things we’ve done” .. V18 “Lord, who is a God like you?” .. Seriously, I feel what a God we have in as much as He is willing to, just just like when you make a mistake whilst writing a letter – you screw up the page and just start again, this is what God is doing for us here. As in V19 “You will throw all [yes all] our sins into the bottom of the sea” … Lets just let that sink in for moment.

OK??

   Let these remarks ring in your mind during the coming days…

~ What do you imagine about God after you’ve sinned?

~ Do you imagine an angry God, quick to turn you away? .. OR

~ Do you imagine Him indignant that you have failed, yet again?

   The Bible assures us that His anger & Disappointment in us passes quickly, and that He actually delights in giving Mercy to a humble and repentant heart.

   God really takes no joy in judgement, if we truly want to please Him, we need to stop trying to hide our sins & failures. We need to bring them out and lay them before Him, in the light of day and forsake them, so God can help deal with them, after showing you His Mercy & Grace.
