Manna for Your Morning

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. — Psalms 32:1 (NKJV) Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20 NLT) “But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.” (Ecclesiastes 7:29) “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. (Acts 17:30 NLT) Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. (Acts 3:19 NLT)  We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. (Romans 3:22-24 NLT)

When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. — Luke 23:33-34 (NASB1995) Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. (Mark 11:25 NASB1995) In Exodus 34:7, the LORD proclaims that He keeps lovingkindness for thousands, and forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished...  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB1995)  Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the abundance of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. — Psalms 51:1-2 (LSB) Psalms 51:10 (TPT) says: “Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.” Our sanctification is a continual process. Let us confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (See 1 John 1:9-10 NKJV) May we renew our minds with the Holy Scriptures and stand ready to please Him, above all others, including ourselves. …“The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, ab...

But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;  The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. — Isaiah 53:5 (NASB) JESUS has borne our griefs, and He has carried our sorrows and pains. (Isiah 53:4) He was beaten and bruised so we could be whole. And by His stripes we are healed. It was His love for us that held Him to the cross. He gave His all to save us. Like wayward sheep, we have all wandered astray. Each of us has turned from God’s paths and chosen our own way; even so, Yahweh laid the guilt of our every sin upon him. (Isaiah 53:6 TPT) JESUS is the Way back to the Father. Isaiah 53:1 asks: “ Who has believed our report?” Believe today. JESUS invites all people to come to the Father through Him, and be made whole.

Hatred keeps old quarrels alive, but love draws a veil over every insult and finds a way to make sin disappear. — Proverbs 10:12  (TPT) In God’s great love for us, He removes our transgressions from us, as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). May we love love others, the way our heavenly Father loves us. Those who forgive faults foster love, but those who repeatedly recall them ruin relationships. (Proverbs 17:9 VOICE) Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. (1 Peter 4:8 AMP) Hold on to loyal love and don’t let go, and be faithful to all that you’ve been taught… — Proverbs 3:3a (TPT)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) Thirty years ago today, the LORD opened my eyes to truth and I opened my heart to receive His love and the wonderful gift of salvation. All praise and honor to God. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Let us walk as children of light.

He calls us out of darkness and into His marvelous light that we may proclaim His praises (1 Peter 2:9) Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.(Psalm 105:1 NLT) Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work ...

“I’ve wiped the slate of all your wrongdoings. There’s nothing left of your sins. Come back to me, come back. I’ve redeemed you.” — Isaiah 44:22 (MSG) Jesus endured the cross for us. He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5) As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12  NASB) Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. (Hebrews 12:2 MSG) Hallelujah! “ I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free. ”  — Isaiah 44:22 (NLT)

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. — John 19:30 (NAS) When Jesus gave up His spirit, on the cross, it was a complete work. He paid the debt for all our sins, past, present and future. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5, NKJV). Let us walk in the freedom and victory that Jesus established for us.

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. — Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP) The LORD our God is in our midst. He is mighty to save. He takes great delight in His people. Once we confess our sins, He removes our transgressions from us, as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). His perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). He rejoices over us with joyful songs. Let us draw near to Him and delight in His Presence!

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.  — Psalm 86:5 (NIV) When we confess our sins, the Lord is standing by, ready to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). He removes our transgressions as far from us, as the east is from the west. The love we have in Jesus knows no boundaries. It goes on and on. His love never gives up on us. Call upon the Lord, fully confident that He will answer.
