Forgiveness

Of things discussed yesterday (see prior post), was God's Forgiveness. While some see it as Christ washing our sins away, and others seeing it as Christ's Love standing between us and God, I explained it this way:

God's Forgiveness is such a Wonder. Unlike how we see sin, where we bring it to mind and then try to see past it, God does something different. For when you are told not to think of a pink elephant, a pink elephant is the first thing to pop into the mind - with or without a tutu. So how can one see past a sin, if we focus on it?

God does not bring our sin to mind. Because God is outside of time, it's quite possible for the Divine to reach back into our past and eliminate that sin. It dissipates so it now never existed. It is only our own perception and the adversary's whispers that tell us it continues to exist, to drag us down.

But in truth, we are free.

  1. Your right, we should not continue to listen to the enemy or focus our attention on our past sins because they have been erased by the blood of the lamb. Thanks for the encouragement today and always!
