—Psalm 86:1-7
by: Victoria Shephard.
We don’t have to twist God’s arm to get him to forgive. We don’t have to go through a certain ritual, say certain words, or wear specific garments. God stands “ready to forgive” (v. 5) as soon as we ask. All we need is a change of heart. “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise” (Psalm 51:17). That’s it. God wants to forgive his children. That’s why Jesus came. I know I mess up every day. Is there anything you have done lately for which you need to ask forgiveness?
