Have you ever done something so stupid, and you just know you messed up big time? I know I have, quite a few times actually. That, is exactly what "inspired" this blog I suppose. As humans, we're obviously gonna jack SO MUCH up. And mess up everyday... etc. But we have to, in order to truly feel God and know what we have.
Our God is a God of GRACE and FORGIVENESS. Which is amazing to me, when it's hard for me to forgive someone just for something stupid. Like forgetting to say Happy Birthday, or even walking by without saying hi! Humans hold the stupidest grudges, and that's why the Lord's forgiveness is incredible! When you mess up... and know it, you usually don't feel too great. You wanna be sorry, and forgiven, and WE ARE!
I just thought about how much we mess up. And how God is SO SO SO patient with us. We can go months without saying a single word to Him, and He's sitting there with open arms to greet us when we come. I don't know about you, but just knowing that that's the kind of God He is, MAKES me want to spend time with Him everyday! So in honor of the Lord, and of humans messing up so much, I thank Him for forgiving us all. Now of course it was only because of Jesus ;] who makes us ALIVE! Man, we're just so... lucky.

Two things I immeadiately got out of this: first, God loves us in a way we can never comprehend and it makes me grateful. second, if God forgives us we NEED to forgive others, i'd keep going but i have people to talk to now :)
hey, i know how that goes...lol. but that is soo amazing to think about! i mean, he just keeps forgiving and keeps waiting and ah..good stuff!
I know I've had my fair share of unforgiveness. And I'm not always the first to forgive. Thanks for the reminder.
