Day 1: Forgiveness


No suitcases allowed

There is a weight limit

Not even a carry on...

Yikes!

You mean I can't bring anything with me~

but myself?

I didn't say that~

All I said was that you have to

leave all the weight behind~

Empty out

Put off

whatever weighs you down.

It is only possible

if you first

Put On

Forgiveness.

It is light

yet it covers the heaviness

that follows us wherever we go.

Forgiveness

His

Forgiveness

to

Put On...

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus

tells us to just

Come

so

He can carry

our heavy suitcases

filled with

Anxiety

Fear

Anger

Doubt

Disappointment, etc...

you know,

we all carry them.

What is in your suitcase?

What do you keep carrying around that is weighing you down?

Come~

“Come now,

let us settle the matter,” says the LORD.

“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:1822

Because

now he has reconciled you to Himself

through the death of Christ in His physical body.

As a result, He has brought you into His own presence,

and you are holy and blameless as

you stand before Him without a single fault. Colossians 1:22

His

Forgiveness

has made

you and me

Blameless!

Have you forgiven yourself for something you have done

for something that you keep doing

for something that He has already forgiven you?

Put on

Forgiveness

Because

He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12

He has let it go~

Can you?

Forgiveness

begins with you

because

His

Forgiveness

is all about you.

Let's begin our

40 Day Journey

by

Putting On

Forgiveness~

first for

yourself

so that you can

Pass it Forward

by

forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

Receive and Believe~

by leaving your suitcase

at the

Cross

and pick up

Forgiveness

so you can

Press Forward

as

Weightless...

Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalm 55:22
