Forgiveness and Compassion


Forgiveness and compassion

Love, faith and grace

My Lord, Jesus, so full of love

Gave His life for us on the cross

That through his broken body and blood

We would have everlasting life

A life of reconciliation with Himself

A life here on earth to demonstrate and proclaim

The good news of the cross and what it means in everyday life

But how do we demonstrate the good news?

Living loved

Living accepted

Living forgiven

Living by obedience…. Not only to the written word but to everything He says.

Maintaining a intimate relationship with God The Father

Through prayer, reflection and study of HIS WORD

We are all human and NOT perfect beings

So at times we falter and fall head long into a sin and bad habits

When we distance ourselves from The Sustainer of Life

Yet because HE is a loving, compassionate, and just God

He does not leave alone in these sins and bad habits

Though correction is painful it will reap a great harvest in the fruit of our lives

In John 15:1-2 it says, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the Gardener,

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does

Bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

So, be thankful that the Lord loves us enough to prune and discipline us

I have to say this to myself also especially when I falter and I will because we all

do, but I know that God is there and He will forgive me!

Praise the LORD for HIS Love, grace, forgiveness, and compassion.
