Respite For the Weary
John 1:8-9
If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Colossians 1:13-14
For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.”
Micah 7:19
He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our sins underfoot. Yes, You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
My Child,
I came to give forgiveness. The bad news is: you and all mankind have sinned against the one true and only Holy God. The good news is: I took care of your sins at the cross so that you could enter into this holiness. I took the wrath that your sins deserve so that you can stand unblemished. Your punishment was poured onto Me so that God’s love could be poured into you. Never, never doubt my forgiveness—I did not die in vain.
Immanuel
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who is every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15
Dear Lord God,
We praise you for your plan. The Son of Man came to be like us so that he could sympathize with us in every way. Jesus felt our same feelings. He understands the depth of our emotions and meets us there. Thank you for this truth. In His Name, Amen.
