Never Too Sinful

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Never Too Sinful.” Julie Schwab wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Nehemiah 9:17, Nehemiah 9:27–31; with the key verse, “You are a forgiving God . . . abounding in love.” Nehemiah 9:17. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

This devotion went straight to my heart. I thought the same as that Professor. However, in my case, my tennis doubles partner and his wife did not let me get away with those thoughts. They kept persuading me that there were no sins so great that God could not forgive. They were right.

Now I am on fire to tell and pursue others who felt like me. I started writing and publishing on blogs and social media for this reason.

God is patient with us, and He will not abandon us if we choose to confess our sin and turn to Him. Jesus loves you and wants you to be part of His family. To learn more about forgiveness in the Christian life, visit ChristianUniversity.org/SF107.

Reflect:

Do you know someone who feels they are too sinful for Jesus to forgive them? How does the truth that Jesus has come not for “the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:17) speak to this way of thinking?

Prayer:

Dear Father, thank You for forgiving my sins and for Your assurance that no one is too sinful to be forgiven.

My Prayer for You:

I pray that God will assure you that no one is too sinful to be forgiven.
