The Forgiveness of God

Hey everyone! I am proud to announce that this is my first official blog post. Today, I want to talk about the forgiveness of God. 

The Lord has been making his mercy and forgiveness very real in my life. As a teenage girl who faces all the hard but normal things of life, it can seem overwhelming. I often mess up, and get frustrated when I do. The one thing I keep coming back to is that the Lord IS enough and He DIED for me. I can’t even comprehend it, and still struggle understanding it. I love the verse that says, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8) What a precious gift that sadly, I tend to take for granted. He did not die because we were perfect and didn’t sin anymore, he died because He knew we needed a Savior to save us from our sins. 

The Lord offers forgiveness to everybody, but often times, we ignore that precious gift, and sometimes try to “fix” it our own way. I can definitely say I have tried to do that, but it never works. Writing this post is just making me more and more grateful for the forgiveness of God. No matter how much I/we have sinned, the Lord forgives us, if we only accept that gift.
