Psalm
103: 12 …” as far
as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
Yesterday’s
devo talked about the depth of God’s love for us – immeasurable. The second half of that verse talks of his
forgiveness for our sins – also immeasurable.
Because
we live on a planet that is round, when we start out east we will never meet
west. The same is true if we start out west, we will never meet east. It’s a continuous circle, round and round,
with no measure.
God
again tells us a great thing about his character. Not only is his love so deep it can’t be
measured, but his forgiveness is so wide we can’t even comprehend it.
As humans,
when we are wronged, you can bet we won’t ever forget it. If the one who offended us even looks at us
sideways, we point the finger and accuse, or we rise up in hatred, or cower in
fear. We have a limited capacity to
forget.
However,
when God forgives us our sins, he removes them.
They exist no more. They are
gone. Forgotten. They have no power over us.
Think about
God’s immeasurable love and his extended forgiveness today and let it overwhelm
you.
