Today I thank God for my eyes,
Whose sight is at each dawn renewed,
Who lift their gaze toward the skies
To well with tears of gratitude.

Quiet My Soul (Poem)

10/24/2014

Many of us live with numerous fears: fear of the past, fear of the future, fear that plans will fail, fear that things we love will be taken away or fears that hopes we have will never be realized.

When my pastor made this statement, it struck a chord with me. In the struggle to be holy, it is easy to believe that all God can see of us is our faults and failures, and is disappointed with us. 

But that is not so.

Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Some time ago, my pastor asked this question in one of his sermons: “How would you live if you knew—without a shadow of a doubt—that you are forgiven?”

That question struck me as a challenge. What would the life lived in the full knowledge of forgiveness look like?
