"If you kept a record of our sins
Lord, who could stand their ground?
But with you is forgiveness,
that you might be revered."
I am blessed because I know I am forgiven. My humanness is forgiven and I am able to continue to grow and change and unfold in the lov eof God because I have the promise of a new day and a new beginning. I hope I am forgiven by family, friends, and all people, but I know I am forgiven, always, by God. God knows my heart annd knows my intentions and actions and the gulf between the two. I am accountable most to God. I am am faithful, loving and true to the word of God, I will serve my family, friends, and all other people well.]
Likewise, God's forgiveness is a model for my own forgiveness toward family, friends and all people. It is so easy to hold grudges, to remember the hurts. God's forgiving nature and love reminds me to let go of those hurts, forgive all their humanness and look forward to the promise of a new day. I am blessed more when I forgive others than when they forgive me. I am able to actively love, and give when I forgive.
