He’s forgiven you
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. (Psalm 86:15 KJV)
When you’re experiencing a time of deep grief, suffering, or loss, it can be a devastating experience. You may be fighting emotional, physical, and spiritual battles all at once that seem almost unbearable. You might be battling with regret, or even blaming yourself in some way for whatever circumstances might have led up to your current situation.
But you don’t have to keep blaming yourself. When you tell the Lord you’re sorry and ask for His forgiveness, then it’s over, it’s done with! He’s forgiven you, and He never holds your sins or failings or mistakes against you. You just have to receive His forgiveness by faith.
You may feel that you don’t deserve it. You may feel that you somehow need to pay for your sins and shortcomings. In the book of Isaiah, the Lord tells us that “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”
Please reach out to Him when you are experiencing regrets and condemnation and receive His forgiveness. It’s there for you immediately! You don’t need to go on another minute in the agony of regret or condemnation. God’s Word says we are to lay aside every weight and sin from the past. His mercies are renewed every morning, and we can face each day with newness of life in Jesus in the present. [1]
