Psalm 32:1-2
1 Blessed is he whose sins are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.
Happy, complete, full am I when my sins are forgiven. The beautiful things about sin is that it has already been forgiven, at the cross. When Jesus died He became sin for us and forgave me of my sin. But it wasn't till I accepted His substitution and the gift of forgiveness that I became blessed and set free. That is true for every one we must come to Jesus and confess our need of Him as our sacrifice realizing it was I who should have died on the cross but because of His great love He died in my place. Now I simply have to except that gift and live in Him. Yes there will be times that I fall short and need to confess (agree) with God that what I did was wrong but again I have been forgiven. Crawford Loritts says, "We all long for forgiveness -to experience God's cleansing, His embrace- to know that we are with Him and He accepts us. The truth is, God always loves us, but when we sin we break fellowship with Him. Thankfully, God doesn't hold grudges. When we repent we experience His forgiveness." Today I must rejoice that I have been forgiven and if necessary I need to extend forgiveness in order to allow that AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of forgiveness to be felt in my soul.
Father thank you for giving your son, thank you Jesus that you willingly laid down your life for me, I will never be able to fully understand it but I believe and know that you love me and have forgiven me. Help me to walk a blessed man because of your sweet forgiveness.
