Once we repent of our sins, Jesus will graciously forgive them. It is not healthy for us to dwell on past errors other than to keep us from repeating them. Therefore, do not focus on your past sins this week, but DO reflect on how kind, gracious, compassionate, patient, and merciful God is. Once your forgiven sins are under the blood of Jesus, do not let Satan throw them back in your face, but focus on Jesus and praise His acts of true grace!
This week, when you pray, reflect on the below verses and praise God for His compassionate mercy to forgive your sins!
(Lamentations 3:22-23) It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
(1 John 1:4 & 7-9) And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Let me also include Psalm 103. It is such a beautiful Psalm that I could not leave it out this week! This is just part of the chapter, so feel free the read all 22 verses on your own. It reminds is that God is gracious to those who love Him and follow His ways. God is the epitome of True mercy and forgiveness!
(Psalm 103:1-4, 8, 11-12, & 17) Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him.
