“I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own
sake, and I will not remember your sins. Put me in remembrance” Isaiah 43:25
FORGIVEN. “Don’t steal from the cookie jar!” “Be loving to your friend and give back what is his.” We all have disobeyed. Disobedience and sin is difficult, we know we shouldn’t do it and still we do it, and that which we know we should do, we don’t do (Rom. 7:15). We’re told not to disobey and know that we continually do just that.
Remember that the laws were given to us out of love. God wants us to flourish and therefore gave rules to live by. At the same time God knows that we stray from His ways and will make mistakes. Our sins burden Him (Isaiah 43:24). God gave Himself through His Son – He then died and with His blood washed away our sin. His life blots out all our transgressions, for His own sake. He takes all our sin away, all our darkness is made light, our filth made clean for Himself. He not only takes those sins away but doesn’t remember them anymore. What He asks of us is to remember Him, and give Him praise for forgiving us.
You are forgiven, made whole, and washed clean. God doesn’t remember your sin, and asks you to live a life out of gratitude and love for Him, forgiving others as He has forgiven you. Walk in obedience to God; you will flourish.

Prayer: Lord,
forgive me for continually straying from You. Thank You for Your Son who died
so I can live. Help me to live in Your ways and do Your will in all things. I
want to remember You every step of the way. Amen.
Good reminder, our God is an awesome God.
