I believe in a God who is a merciful God. Some of you may have heard the phrase “the
devil tries to make you remember what God has already forgotten.” I’m not sure if I got every little syllable
exactly right but I have the right idea.
It’s not about how good or how bad we were in the past because if we
truly and honestly seek His forgiveness He will show us His divine mercy. It’s about acknowledging the righteousness
of God. It’s about our intent.
God really does not care whether we “look righteous” or
not. He also does not care how
“accomplished” or “driven” we are or what our social status is. In fact, those of us who are flawed or
damaged inside are more likely to be receptive to the plan of God. Those who think they are perfect and have
everything will tend to bear a resemblance to a vessel that is full and can be
filled no more. He promised that His
love shall be with us always, but only those of us who actually accept it will
receive it in the first place.
Luke 7: 24-30
