F stands for Forgraceness

It isn't until we find ourselves falling short of perfection and of holiness until we realize how stuck we are in sin, how ugly and wretched sin makes us.  We always seem to slipping up here or there. No matter how hard we try to live this life sinless, we find ourselves filled with guilt and shame. Do you have ever those moments in life, where this Grace&Forgiveness give you a nice, stiff arm to the chest? This weekend has been one where I have been hit hard with this question & feeling. But in Ephesians 1:7 it says.... "The forgiveness of sins, accord to the riches of His grace."

From the words of the late great C.H. Spurgeon "Could there be a sweeter word in any language than that word 'forgiveness' when it sounds in a guilty sinner's ear, like the beautiful harps playing at heaven's door.  Blessed, for ever be the pardon which shines into the condemned cell, and gives the perishing sinner a gleam of hope amid the midnight hour.  Can it be possible that sin, such sin as mine, can be forgiven, forgiven altogether and forever? Hell is my portion as a sinner - there is no possibility of my escaping from it while sin remains upon me - can the load of guilt be uplifted, this crimson stain removed? Can these prison doors be lifted from their hinges? Jesus tells me....Yes....forever blessed be the revelation of this atoning love which only tells me that forgiveness is possible, but that it is secure to all who rest in Jesus. What joy is this! What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! My soul dedicates all its power to Him who of His own unpurchased love became my surety, and has produced for me redemption through His blood. What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive at all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive forever! When I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, and how gracious was the method by which forgiveness & pardon was sealed to me, I am in a maze of wondering worshipping affect. I bow before the throne which absolves me, I clasp the cross which delivers me, I serve henceforth all my days the God who I am this night a pardoned soul.'

Accord to the RICHES.... Jesus has endless amounts of grace&forgiveness for you.... so whatever it is that is holding you back, know that you cannot do this life alone, that you will always fall short, but oh blessed is they who looks upon the loving gaze of Jesus asking for forgiveness&grace from Him who was and is and is to come. (He will never turn you down)
