God IS bigger than ANY sin...

Some of us have already been there.

 

At first, it is a pleasurable ride which quickly becomes a slippery slope into utter darkness.  I call it the black hole of sin.  There have been times in my life when I've been so deep in a sinful situation, that hope...rescue...forgiveness...seemed like a little pinprick of light so remote and far away that it seemed IMPOSSIBLE to ever get back to that place of sweet fellowship with my Lord, my God, my Redeemer.

 

The messiness of our sin (whatever it is) tricks us into thinking we've done the BIG one this time.  We think we've gone too far...too deep...stayed too long...and are beyond rescue.  That is an utter lie.

 

Let me repeat this:  THAT IS AN UTTER LIE.

 

I can't help but wonder if it is the sin of pride that causes us to think we can sin a sin more powerful than God.

 

My dearest brothers and sisters in Christ....God, the Creator, Sustainer, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, All-Present, Jehovah-Jireh, Redeemer, Lord, King of Kings, Alpha and Omega, the One and ONLY true God....is capable, able and willing to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  We need to confess our sin, turn from it and ask for God's AMAZING grace and mercy to help us overcome this sin which chains us to an unhappy, ineffective, joyless existence.

 

Read on to see what David had to say about God.

 

There is hope, there is forgiveness, there is sweet reconciliation with God.  If your heart is hardened, ask God to soften it.  If you need to talk...I'm here...Frank is here.

 

I love you all and pray for you daily!

Bigger Than Your Sin Posted: 20 Oct 2008 03:22 PM CDT "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity." (Psalm 51:7-9) When you've done your worst. When you've been caught red-handed. When everyone seems to know just by looking at you how ugly your soul can be. When you're drowning in the consequences of your own foolish, selfish choices. In that moment, you might feel beyond fixing. Some people vow in that moment to abandon God forever. He could not love them again. He could not forgive . . . that. They are broken. Ruined. Too far gone to ever come back. David, though, realized that was a lie. His God was bigger than his sin. Your God is bigger than your sin, even if your sin is huge. David believed and so he asked: "Clean me. Make it possible for me to be happy again. Take all my ugly sins and delete them completely from your hard drive." God can do that. Think: Have you ever felt it wasn't even worth the effort to get right with God because your sin was so major? Do you see how that treats God as if He is smaller than your capacity to do wrong? Pray: Ask God to help you to believe that His forgiveness and grace is greater than your sin. As one forgiven by the blood of Jesus, ask God to help you to hear joy and gladness today. Do: Make a quick list of the sins that God cannot or will not forgive because they're just too evil. Visit PlanetWisdom.com for more great resources!
