I'm not perfect!

People are not perfect; which is why the Lord God gave His only Son, to die for us, so that He could forgive us for the times when we get it all wrong. We try our best; but we mess up. God knows this and loves us and forgives us, through His Son, Jesus. We will never get it right; and in our struggle to ‘get it right’ beat ourselves up about not having reaching our targets, obtaining our ambitions, become the person we want to be; sometimes we fail to keep hold of the hopes that we desire.

Not our fault

It is not our fault. We were all made perfect in God’s image; but sin enters into our lives each day and messes things up for us. Even in our present state, ‘as we are still sinners’, God still loves us and desires for us seek Him. We do not have to be ‘good’ before we can talk to God! He accepts us just as we are.

‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ (Romans 5:8).

Forgiveness

His desire is to forgive us for all that we do and have done. Seek Him through His Son, Jesus. He will forgive you and in term we can forgive others as He forgives us.

‘There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them’ (Acts 4:12).

Power to forgive

He also asks us to forgive; and gives us the strength and power to put aside our pride and hurt; and reach out to those people in our life who need our forgiveness. Reach out to Jesus and He will bless you with His love and forgiveness and in turn you will reach out to those who need your forgiveness; and in turn accept forgiveness from those who need to forgive you. What God did for us: forgiving us, we will be able to do for others. His love will heal and restore us.

‘For You were killed, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation..’ (Rev. 5:9).
