forgiveness

8/06/09 My prayer verse for the day comes from Psalm 130:4, "But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered." I needed forgiveness this morning when I woke up. There it was waiting for me in the ancient words of this psalm. It is not like I did anything hugely wrong. It is just that I keep returning to old destructive patterns and sometimes I invent new ones. I am glad that the verse begins with "but." God has a "but", a "in spite of," a "yet" to counter my/our sin. That "but" is forgiveness, a fresh start, a cleansing, a new beginning. This God who forgives I gladly worship.

Love,
Lynn
