Loving God

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Luke 7:47

God can forgive us of anything. Regardless of "how bad" we think our sin has been, we can be forgiven, as long as we have faith and ask our Lord.

"And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:50

When we experience God's forgiveness, we respond. As people we respond with love. As we undergo forgiveness, we realize exactly what the cost was to be forgiven. How can we not love Christ in return for the opportunity of forgiveness? He suffered so much so that I might be forgiven of my sins. He suffered for me- for me personally. He knew me before I was born, and knew that I would need him. And he knew my family, and my friends, and he knew that we would all need him. And when the time came, Jesus gave his life for all of us.

Wow.

May the Lord continue to open my eyes to the sacrifice made for me. And may I continue to be the example I need to be for my children.
