He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. --Micah 7:18,19
I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins. --Isaiah 43:25
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. --Isaiah 41:10

This is one of my favorite songs. Ever.
Talk about a "Hallelujah, Praise God, Thank You, Jesus" lyric. Everytime I hear it I think about what it means. I think about all the "misdeeds" that have characterized my life and then about the mighty wave that wiped them away.
Nothing is unforgivable. No sin is too great that it will not sink beneath the depths of that sea. Nowhere that we have drifted is too far for His hand to reach.
I have made my share of mistakes. Too many. And too often. But every single one of them, from the unnoticed ones to the life-changing ones, have been seen and felt by God. And every single one of them has been blotted out, forgotten.
Think about what a great deal we're getting. We get to be intimate with the Creator of all things, forgiven, renewed, and restored for every offense, and all we have to do is admit those offenses to Him and walk away from them.
Happy Tuesday, folks.
