Psalm 103:12

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

One of the most beautiful verses in the Bible is Psalm 103:12. Because it demonstrates the limitless extent of God’s forgiveness and grace. And not only does it offer us freedom from guilt and shame, but also a path to redemption and growth. Nothing can hold us down like the regret of past mistakes. It keeps us separated from God, and living in defeat. And that’s not the life God wants for us. I love what Charles Stanley says. “When we stray from His presence, He longs for you to come back. He weeps that you are missing out on His love, protection and provision. He throws His arms open, runs toward you, gathers you up, and welcomes you home.” When we confess and repent before God, we promises to remember our sins no more. So go to Him. Receive His divine forgiveness and restoration. And watch God take you on a journey of personal transformation, characterized by love, compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose.

November 20th – Psalm 103:12

Psalm 103:12

When someone sins against you do you ever find yourself saying, “I’ll forgive but I won’t forget!” Thankfully God doesn’t hold such a view. For He declares that not only does He forgive our sins, He removes them as far as the East is from the West. But why not as far as the North is from the South? Because due to the poles, traveling North to South is a limited amount of miles. You can’t travel North without eventually having to turn around and go South. But you can travel East to West forever without stopping. And that’s how God deals with our sin. When we come to Him in confession and repentance, He not only forgives, He removes the stain of our sin forever, remembering them never again. So let go of the guilt and shame of the past. Forgive yourself and others as God has forgiven you. And experience the victory of the Lord’s sweet forgiveness in your life!
