"Lord I have sinned again... will you ever forgive me?"

I know how it feels to feel Unforgiven.

To repeat the same sin over and over again.

An ongoing cycle that just seems to never end.

You cannot help to think...

Does God still love me?

Will He still bless me?

Does God…. still love me?

You can’t help to feel dirty, to feel as though it is just too late.

Thinking maybe... Just maybe this was my last chance.

No.

These are all lies placed in your mind by the devil.

A being that is there only to steal, kill, and destroy.

If he can’t steal from you, he will try to kill you.

And if he can’t kill you, he will try to destroy you.

The devil tries to destroy our minds with lies.

Telling us that you are unworthy, and that the Lord will never accept you again.

Yet the Lord is in tears, just waiting for you to come back in His arms.

He is literally standing right beside you.

Calling out your name.

But you can’t hear him.

Your mind is currently being flooded with unwanted noise.

But the Lord has not left you.

I have sinned more than I can count.

I have even PROMISED my God that I wouldn’t do it again.

But you know what the funny thing is?

He already knew that I was going to do it again.

And that is where grace comes in.

Grace!

God, decided to send His only begotten Son to die.

Just for you.

Because He knew…

He knew that one day you’ll sin, and you’ll need His forgiveness.

Instead of death, He gave you life.

The Lord has your back no matter what.


And If Satan continues to remind you of your past, remind him of his future.

"He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on His children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him; for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust."

Psalm 103: 10-14 (NIV)

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the Lord. "Though your sin are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

Isaiah 1:18 (NIV)
