RECHARGED by Forgiveness
It’s a powerful feeling to be forgiven for a mistake you’ve made. Knowing that although we messed up, we get a new chance to be better and to do better. As part of our sinful nature we are going to mess up and make mistakes A LOT. But we are also saved by grace–and forgiven by a love so powerful that he throws our mistakes as far as the east is to the west.
“As distant as the east is from the west, that is how far he has removed our sins from us.” -Psalm 103:12
As I was recharging myself this week by forgiveness this song came on the radio and it just so perfectly portrayed God’s forgiveness. Let the words rush over you, empower you, and fill you will joy that you serve a God that forgives. The song is called, Drops in the Ocean, by Hawk Nelson.
“Drops In The Ocean”
Won’t you lay down your guard and come to me
The shame that grips you now is crippling
It breaks my heart to see you sufferingCause I am for you
I’m not against youIf you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I’d say you are forgiven
It’s more than the drops in the ocean
Don’t think you need to settle for a substitute
When I’m the only love that changes you
And I am for you
I’m not against you
I am for you
I’m not against you
If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I’d say you are forgiven
It’s more than the drops in the ocean
Open your heart
It’s time that we start again
Open your heart
It’s time that we start again
If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I’d say you are forgiven
It’s more than the drops in the ocean
The drops in the ocean
I am for you
I’m not against you
I am for you
I’m not against you
