He Has Removed

Our Transgressions From Us

He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

Psalm 103:7-13

Have you ever been on the final flight home with the kids, and it gets delayed. The kids are running everywhere, they are hungry, they want to go to the bathroom. And then they get on the plane. Are you one of those fathers who says, “Why don’t you let me read one of your story books to you?”

God is like that Father. He is always soothing us, He is always taking care of us.

God longs for us to listen to the story of His love for us when we are restless on our own journey through life. Our heavenly Father is always near, ready to encourage us with His Word.

God’s great love for His child is one of His greatest gifts.
