dotty!

forgiveness, grace... these are the two words i've come to appreciate so much over the past two hours. we as fallible human beings find it so hard to forgive and be gracious.. but what about God? We sin against a holy and perfect God countless times, yet in His loving mercy and by His grace, He forgives us if we are willing to confess our sins. 1 John 1:9

As i struggled and prayed through everything just now, this whole notion of God's grace and mercy just overwhelmed me. I realised how unforgiving and ungracious i was, and as i approached His throne of grace, I was utterly overwhelmed. Jesus, who bore all our sins on the cross 2000 years ago, still stands before the Father and constantly intercedes for us, regardless of the countless times we sin against Him. No one likes people to sin against them, how much more, then, would our Heavenly Father be grieved when men made in His image sin against Him? Yet, He forgives. Amazing....
