Psalm 51:1 (NKJV) 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
Sometimes all we want is another chance to make things right. An opportunity to fix what we did wrong.
We just want God to forget about the wrong thing we did; wipe it away like it never happened so we can start over again.
Isn’t that all we want when we know that we have done something wrong?
It’s hard to live with some of the choices we have made. Especially when we knew better and just fell to temptation.
But what’s incredible about God in His love and mercy toward us is His forgiveness.
On our end, though, we need to repent and sincerely mean it. And we need to make an honest effort to do better the next time around. Don’t go back to our wrongdoing.
That is what believers live for; to obey God and get it right.
We are never going to be perfect here on earth. But working to get it right and be the person God intends for us to be is our daily fight.
We will have good days and think, “wow, this is easy!”. But even as a mature believer we will have hard days, where we will question and ask ourselves, “why did I just do that? I knew better”.
We have all been there from time to time. Thank God that because of His mercy and lovingkindness, He will blot out our transgressions.
