God Has Not Forgotten You

Isaiah 49:15-16 (KJV)

“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his…”

God's Mercy

The Mercy of God Is Greater Than Your Past

Two measurements are given in this psalm, and both of them are deliberately impossible to reach the end of.

“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. … As far as the east is from the west, so far hath…”
Psalm 103:10-12 (KJV)

Conviction draws you toward God. Shame drives you away from Him. Learning to tell them apart changes everything.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Forgiving When It Still Hurts

Forgiveness, reconciliation, and trust are three different things. Confusing them has caused real harm.

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
Matthew 6:14 (KJV)

Victory Over Fear

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

The cure John prescribes for fear is not more willpower. It is a deeper certainty of being loved.

A Day of Accounting

Faith in Trials

When the Answer Is Delayed

For the believer who has prayed for years without visible change, and is quietly wondering whether God has heard.
