forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. -- Psalm 103:3</b></i></font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">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.</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">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. </font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">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.</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">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.</font></font>
