Hello ,

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace..."  Ephesians 1:7

Of all the conversations that I have had with people over the years, the topic of forgiveness has come up most often. If you have ever said to yourself,  "I can't believe I blew it so badly," join the club.

I have had my share of personal struggles and challenges over the years, and if it wasn't for God's grace I'm not sure how I could cope with the guilt, from the sins of my past.

Jesus didn't come to planet earth to condemn us, He came here to save us because we could never save ourselves. 

The verse in Ephesians 1:7 is one that has very real possibilities for bringing peace into our hearts, regardless of our pasts. 

How is it with you? 

Have you accepted God's forgiveness, and asked Him to help you move past your past? 

God's promise is not based on our goodness, or on our ability to grasp it; it is centered on His amazing grace and goodness. 

Have a great day and God bless!
