Is there any forgiveness for you?

Hi dear friends, how are you doing? May God bless our week greatly! I would like to start today by asking a small question: Is there any forgiveness for you?

You know friends, in my walk of faith, I have seen many people backsliding after committing a mistake, a sin and they feel down believing that there is no forgiveness for them and so they don't find the strength to move forward and end up dying in faith and worst of all, lose their salvation. But God showed me something wonderful and I would like to share it with you  young ladies who have backslid on faith, and because of that you feel powerless, discouraged, finding yourself to feel the worst sinner, the worst person in the Church, for that reason you feel embarrassed to come back because you think people will look at you and criticize and they will judge you with their eyes. For you who cannot forgive yourself and think that you really should continue in the world and lose your salvation, because after being right with God and knowing His love, you were able to make mistakes... this message is for you friend. Read the verse below:

And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ Luke 15: 5-6

When a person we trust hurts us, we feel sad, we soon get upset and we avoid this person and in some cases we ignore and even if this person asks for forgiveness and shows regret, that trust was broken and the relationship most of the time never goes back to being the same, isn't it so? That's why so many people when they sin before God, they think that everything is lost, as if your relationship with God was the same as with a human being, but a small detail is overlooked: God is not a human being! Now read again the verse above. Did you see the difference between God and man? What God did when he found the lost sheep? He rejoiced greatly! Do you think He judged her and was soon asking a lot of questions about what had happened? Do you think He was asking why she did what she did and why she abandoned Him? No! He hugged her and carried her in His arms and brought back to the fold and was very happy!

That's Who our God is. He is merciful, loving, He is our dear father and is happy when a sinner repents and recognizes that he needs His help. He does not criticize us or points finger. He wants us to be humble to recognize that we need His forgiveness. He wants us to understand that He is not like human beings and that what He wants the most is to give us a life of victories, happiness and a life full of great achievements in this world. God does not want to see us sad, away from Him, in fact, who is the accuser that says we have no forgiveness is the devil. He is the one that wants to weaken us with negative words so that we do not seek our God and thus be saved. God does not give up on you and the proof is that you are still alive and as long as there is life, God is giving you a chance, now what you need to do is believe in this word, believe in the forgiveness of God, believe in His everlasting love and come out of that situation. Use your faith to believe in this love so great that is the love of God and do not let the negative words of the devil put you down to make you lose your salvation. How about taking action now and believe, therefore giving a slap across the face of the devil?

A big kiss to you and until next week.
