Can He Forgive Me of THAT???

Today, as Mary and I sat on the back porch, she opened up a wonderful conversation about the forgiveness of God.

She began telling me some of the sins she had committed in the past, before her salvation. As she recounted them, they got a bit bigger with each one. She stopped for a moment and gazed out into the backyard. Her face was very serious and then she said....

"But, CAN HE FORGIVE ME OF THAT?" I nearly cried. She has been taught bits and pieces of wrong doctrine over the years and Darrel and I have been sitting daily with her just sharing Jesus, His truths, His Word and His promises with her. With each conversation and as each Truth has been revealed, tears flowed. Her face has lit up and you have literally been able to see the weights lifted off of her tiny shoulders. She has been so concerned about her past life and is finally fully beginning to comprehend that when she was washed in the blood and her sins forgiven, they were ALL forgiven! FREEDOM....she has begun to experience real FREEDOM in Christ. What a priviledge to see these miracles happening.

Mary is no different than anyone else on this planet. Millions of us reject Christ because we think we can never be forgiven of ALL of our sins. "Surely God can't forgive me of THAT, can He?"

YEP....He sure can and He sure will. How grateful Darrel and I are to have this opportunity to see the light of Jesus beginning to shine in Mary. With her whole heart, she loves the Lord. God has answered our prayers regarding her salvation.
We will continue to wait and pray for those we love so much and have still not experienced this FREE gift of forgiveness. God is able, God is able.
