Have you ever made someone you deeply love or care about angry, or badly hurt them? If you're old enough to read this, the chances are pretty high that you have. Do you remember how it felt to see that person? Knowing that you were responsible for hurting them, that the pain or anger in their eyes was caused by you? Do you remember how liberated you felt when that person forgave you? Not just in word, but by every fiber of being that that person has and is? That is the closest description that I can give concerning the way it feels to accept Jesus. I was a foul, sorry excuse for a human being who did everything possible to deny and go against Him. But then I learned about His love and BELIEVED that He had the power to forgive me, and He did! He forgot everything that I had done and said and even thought. Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord"
If you think that you have been too bad to be forgiven, you're wrong! The worse the sinner, the more sweet the forgiveness. If you think that you aren't guilty of any sin you're wrong there too. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
So, I ask you... Why are you walking around knowing that you are out of relationship with God?
