When God Forgives

whengodforgives

And when God forgives, he forgives like a Father and not like an official in the law court who reads out the verdict saying: ‘Acquitted for lack of evidence.’ He forgives us from within his heart. He forgives because he loved that person. – Pope Francis

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says the LORD:
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
-Isaiah 1:18, WEBBE

When God forgives, He forgives us completely, He forgives us with love.

He does not hold any resentment towards us. He doesn’t keep on reminding us of our faults.

He purifies us completely and looks at us seeing only His beloved child, not our past sins, not our previous shame.

The world may judge us. And even if someone forgives us, we may feel always guilty before his eyes.

But with God, all that remains is His love for us. A love so great it washes away every trace of darkness from our hearts, replacing it with the purity of His light.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins. – Isaiah 43:25, WEBBE
