From One of My Devotionals: God Has Already Forgiven You

Anyone who knows me well knows I receive about 6 or 7 daily devotional emails compiled by others. Some are famous teachers of the Word, such as Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Max Lucado and Charles Stanley. Other devotionals are compiled by people who aren't even referenced, such as the one listed below. I like to share these from time to time as they are thoughtfully organized and teach us a great message. As I post them, I will give credit when I know who should receive it. And I will never take credit if it is not from me. :)

Hope you enjoy this one. It's really important to understand when beginning, or even re-establishing, your walk with God. Nothing you have done, and nothing you will ever do can separate you from His love. He loves you where you are, and will work with you to get you where you could be. :)

Romans 8:38-39 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God Has Already Forgiven You

2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 AMPLIFIED
19 It was God (personally present) in Christ, reconciling and
restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and
holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them];
and committing to us the message of reconciliation -- of the
restoration to favor.

A popular idea is that God is really mad at people and can
hardly wait to punish them for their sins.

The truth is that God has already forgiven people. Now you must
accept His forgiveness to enjoy a restored relationship with
Him.

What a shame it is that people are estranged from God and go
without His help and blessing -- simply because they think God
is against them and would have nothing to do with them.

1 JOHN 2:12 NKJ
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for His name's sake.

No matter what you have done -- God has already forgiven you!
More than forgiven -- you are loved!

Forgiving you was God's idea -- you do not have to convince
Him. You must believe God forgave you and thank Him.

Jesus Christ already paid the price for all your sins -- and
God is no longer holding any sin against you! You have been
forgiven.

SAY THIS: Thank You Father God for forgiving me! Thank You Jesus!
