The tempter wants us to believe that God is hard-hearted, that He is quick to judge and slow to forgive. Nothing could be further from the truth. No matter how miserably we have failed, no matter how far we might have fallen, He stands ready to forgive. In truth, God is more eager to forgive us than we are to be forgiven.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.”

Lord Jesus, help us to trust Your love and receive Your forgiveness no matter how often we have failed. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
