You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.
— Psalm 86:5

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Forgiveness is such a sweet blessing. But God does more than forgive! He cleanses and purifies us, then presents us to God as "holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation" (Colossians 1:21-22). God does not grudgingly meter out his love. He does not grudgingly ration out his forgiveness. He lavishly pours his love upon us and into us as we genuinely seek him as our Father (Romans 5:5; 1 John 3:1). So, let's cry out and ask for God's forgiveness as we praise the mighty and holy name of The Almighty, confidently knowing that our Father longs to bless us with his overflowing goodness, mercy, and love.

My Prayer...

O Precious Father, I call to you, wanting you to know how important your love and forgiveness are in my life. Thank you for sending Jesus to show your love for me and pay the debt of my sin. Please help me to live today as your child: may others see my joy and my passion for you as I seek to live for your glory. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
