As Far As the East is From the West

Being someone who struggles a lot with guilt, it's hard to think of God as being a God who throws sins out the window and loves us still the same. 

The fact of the matter is, He does. Christ so desperately wants us to know the strength of His love. He wants His people to have a foretaste of the feast to come I guess you could say. He doesn't want us to miss out on the opportunity of knowing that He, our God cares about us so much He knows the amount of hair on our head. 


In Psalm 103:12 it says: "As far from the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us." God doesn't see the sinner in us a much as we might think. He sees His child in need of love, forgiveness and a never-failing Father. 

Now don't go and sin as much as you want because Christ does forgive us. Forgiveness comes with repentance. We need to repent of our sins on the daily. When we act against Christ knowingly, with out feeling sorry, God's heart breaks into a thousand pieces. Think of it as your own child, whom you deeply love and want the best for, rebelling against you. The worst part, they know it and they still choose to. 

Christ loves, cares and forgives His children everyday, even before you ask for it. So proclaim proudly the grace, forgiveness and salvation found in YOUR God today!


In His Love,
