Forgiven in His Eyes

I have made a few mistakes in my life, many to be exact, but Thank God, He has forgiven me. He has forgiven me and continues to love me anyway. His Word promises that nothing can separate me from His love. My sin and mistakes may have broken a few ties with others, and I might not be forgiven by those I hurt, but not so with God. In His eyes; they not only are forgiven, they are forgotten.

Romans 8:38-39 New Living Translation (NLT) 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Forgiven and forgotten? Not so fast, I must do my part. I must ask His forgiveness and then remain faithful to Him. I must sip no more from the cup of sin.

When you reach the age that I am, you tend to "look back". You re-live your life, but in slow motion. If you are not careful, you will find yourself criticizing, rather than praising yourself, for all you have accomplished.

I encourage you, forget the past, look to the future. Let bygones be bygones. Press onward to all that this life has to offer. There's much more to accomplish, so much more to do.

So get on your best running shoes and run the race. If you are His, it's going to be an amazing win!

1 Corinthians 9:24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! Let's Talk
