† Forgiveness is for You † If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 ESV So there I sat in my prayer room feeling washed up and wondering why I was there at all that day. After going through a drawn out messy divorce, I didn’t go to church at all and rarely prayed. I felt that the Lord was done with me. I had let Him down and the whole church as well. Yep, those days are finished I thought. I thought there may be hell in my future but at least I was free from the hell on earth. As I sat there thinking on this I flipped through the bible and it fell on Rom 11:29. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. I pondered this a moment and thought what if I have not trashed God’s plan for me? I started praying on this and that is exactly how He felt. Sure God hates divorce, but He is divorced as well (Jer. 3:8). He’s been there. He was waiting on me to get up from my bed of self condemnation and I learned that I can be forgiven as well. We all fall, but not all get up. We all know that others can be forgiven, but often when we stumble, we just don’t see it for us. When you fall, get up. God is not angry with you. He does not take back His gifts or His calling because you stumble. His plan is still on for your life and you are the only one that can stop that. Forgiveness is for you as well.
