I'm thinking today of Psalm 51.1. It says,
Be gracious to me, O God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the greatness of your compassion, blot out my transgressions.
Psalm 51.1. If these things that David was writing about here were not already
God's character traits, what reasons would God have for
forgiving our sins? He's not required to do so. He's not
tricked or trapped to do so. He's free, holy,
and righteous. He would be just in giving us
exactly what we deserve. However, His mercy is unending. Justice is
served because He paid when we couldn't.
Jesus took the penalty for sins upon Himself.
Praise God, that's done. We must realize we have sinned against God.
We must say to God, God, be gracious to me.
God, blot out my transgressions and do so according to your loving kindness,
according to the greatness of your compassion. Lord, forgive us for what
we've done. Help us stand for you today better than
we did yesterday and better than the day before that, and we would
better and better every day live for you. Check out
