“For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as far as the east is from the west.” (Psalm 103:11-12) HERE I AM, LORD (Day 13 of 31) Thank You, Lord, for Forgiving Me I appreciate being given some slack. I love it when my friends overlook my bad behavior. I am relieved when my boss understands and gives me some extra time. I know I can be hard to live with sometimes and appreciate it when my friends and family doesn’t keep score. But I am grateful most of all when you, O Lord, choose not to hold my many sins against me. I will never stop praising you for your gospel. If I had to earn your favor on the basis of my performance, I would stay an outsider for all eternity. Your Word assures my nervous heart that our good relationship rests on your work and your attitude and your choice, not mine: “For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as far as the east is from the west.” (Psalm 103:11-12) Lord, remember what you said! East by definition never meets west. Don’t let the evidence of my sins anywhere near you. Please, Father--when you think of me, think of Jesus your Son first. View me always through your Christ-lenses. Thank you for giving me a righteousness I could never accomplish or afford on my own. I love living in your love.
