Day 13: Filled With Forgiveness

If you’ve messed up, I’ll even use the phrase, screwed up royally, there is hope for you today. Jesus wants to deliver you from your sins, from those things that trap you. You just have to ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus. It’s a very simple prayer. No churchy words needed. Just go to Jesus and say, “Please forgive me of my sins. Wash me clean.”

The Bible says He will wash you whiter than snow. It’s the gift of salvation and gives you the chance to start over. When you do that, when you ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus, it opens the door to a relationship with God. That relationship is now restored.

When Jesus sacrificed his life to give you life, it also opened the door to heaven. A new zip code where you can live in harmony and peace, in a place where there’s no more tears all the days of your life. A place where you’re going to have purpose. It’s not sitting on a cloud playing a harp. The Bible tells us that no eye has seen and no ear has heard all that God has prepared for those who love him.

I love that there was a turning point in the Psalm and there can be a turning point in your day right now. Your mood can be changed as you remember you’ve been rescued from sin, death, hell. Make today the turning point of your life. Accept the free gift of Jesus’ death for you on the cross. Your life will be forever changed.

PRAYER: Lord, oh Father, we just come to you in the name of Jesus. You are the king of kings. You are the Lord of Lords. You are good. There is so much in this world that isn’t good, Lord Jesus. But we remember that you are not done yet, that this is not our home. Lord, you are preparing a place for us. You are preparing a place for us to live forever in a place where there are no more tears. In a place where there is no more pain, no more crying. None of it. We don’t need Kleenex there. But Lord, we look to you now knowing that you are our anchor. Thank you, Lord for rescuing us!

REFLECTION: Have you prayed the prayer of salvation? Make today the day you say yes to Jesus!
