[Discoveries] 01-02-08 God doesn't quit -- Psalm 103:3

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*[God] forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. -- Psalm 
103:3*/

We often focus on the terrible price Jesus paid so that our sins might 
be forgiven. This is important, but I think the Lord also wants us to 
see how much He values His children. This is the point of the story of 
the Prodigal Son. The father puts the best robe on his wayward son and 
puts a ring of authority on his finger.

God is in the business of reversing the effects of human sin. All of us 
have made terrible choices. But our bad choices are being swept away by 
the tide of God's grace. The fall and the curse touch each of us. But 
the story doesn't end there. God is at work.

When you fall, or when you find a brother who has fallen, don't just 
look at the sin. Look at the God who is bigger and smarter and stronger 
than sin. And when you suffer, or when a loved one suffers, don't just 
look at the pain. Look to Jesus who understands pain and triumphed over it.

It takes a lifetime to understand verses like this, but know this: God 
doesn't quit until every one of His children rests in His healing and in 
His forgiveness.

Be encouraged!
