Forgiveness 101

A couple married for 15 years began having more than usual disagreements. They wanted to make their marriage work and agreed on an idea the wife had. For one month they planned to drop a slip in a "Fault" box. The boxes would provide a place to let the other know about daily irritations. The wife was diligent in her efforts and approach: "leaving the jelly top off the jar," "wet towels on the shower floor," "dirty socks not in hamper," on and on until the end of the month. After dinner, at the end of the month, they exchanged boxes. The husband reflected on what he had done wrong. Then the wife opened her box and began reading. They were all the same, the message on each slip was, "I love you!" 

That is God's forgiveness. When he sees you he doesn’t see the wrong you do he sees the spotless lamb of God who suffered, bled and died for you to know forgiveness. It's not that you don't mess up or that he just chooses not to notice but rather because you have chosen to receive Jesus' death burial and resurrection  for your way of forgiveness he can no longer see you as a sinner because biblically you are covered by the blood of Jesus.
