Have you ever wondered if your sins are beyond the reach of God’s love and grace?
Is there something in your past that you are so ashamed of that you believe there is no way He could possibly forgive and forget it?
If you are unsure of just how far-reaching His mercy, grace, and love are, then you need to take a deep breath, put yourself into receiving mode, and drink in these refreshing, life-giving Words from your Beloved.
“My joy, I long for you to understand the splendid significance of what I did on your behalf at the cross.”
“I was pierced through for everything you’ve ever done and ever will do wrong.”
“The sins of your lifetime were literally taken away from you (just as if you had never committed them) and transferred into My body (just as if I were the One who committed them).”
“And then I allowed Myself to be punished—beaten, bruised, broken, and slaughtered—so that you could be forever made whole.”
“This may be difficult for you to comprehend, but I loved you even before you were born.”
“Before one thought of Me entered your mind.”
“Before you could do anything to merit My love.”
“And I was right there loving you when you committed the worst, most shameful (in your mind) sin of your life.”
“Yes, your sin was great, but My grace is greater than all your sin.”
“I love you, no matter what you do or don’t do.”
“And there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“It is what it is.”
“I AM who I AM.”
“I am unconditional love, and no one will ever love you like I love you.”
“You are the love of My life!”
“Anticipating the joy of eternal union with you was how I endured the horrifying violence of the cross.”
“I paid the ultimate price so that we could be joined together forever in love.”
“And if I had to, I would go through it all over again to capture your heart.”
“But I don’t have to.”
“Once was enough to secure our happily forever after!”
Today’s post is an excerpt from my book, Fifty Days in His Pursuing Love Devotional: Getting to Know the One Who Loved You First and Loves You Most.
