Into the depths of the sea...

"You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins..."
Micah 7:19
 
I really liked this image today.  If you have ever gazed at the vastness of the ocean, it is a real comfort to know that God forgives and forgets our sins so completely.  Since that is the case, why do we hang onto them--our sins?  It is, sometimes, harder for us to forgive ourselves than it is for God to cast our sins into the sea.  We certainly take away from God's greatness by hanging onto something God has already cast aside, don't we?  Today, let's trust that, as soon as we are aware of them and ask God to forgive our sins, they are long gone...to the bottom of the sea.  Let's continue on about our day, knowing that our God loves us beyond our own imagination! And let's remember that God wants us to forgive others as easily and completely.  Love, heidi
