Go Forth Differently

 

Where there is forgiveness of these,

there is no longer

   any offering for sin....

            Hebrews 10. 18

No need to beg for forgiveness,

    but to accept it.

We are already covered

   by forgiveness,

because that is why

            Jesus came. 

Why then do we have

  such a hard time

forgiving others

       or even ourselves?

What does forgiveness

             make possible?

Go forth differently.

O LORD,

You have taken our sin

     upon yourself

that we may be empowered

   to go into this life

not just relieved of our wrongdoing,

but able now to go forth forgiven.

And that changes us

      to our very bones.

Help us today to see 

  everything around us

      with a new heart

and Your grace 

        all over us.
