Reflections of my Father

When a baby is just learning how to walk, the parents are there, excited about every step, encouraging them when they stumble, and helping them up when the fall. That is how God is for us. He does not get angry when we stumble a step. Instead, He is there, willing and ready to help us.
“13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”
Psalm 103:13-14

(thought encouraged by a Sunday School service by our pastor, Bro. Thomas)


Reflections of my Father

As far as the east from west — God removes our burden of sin. It is not puddling at our feet, where we can step in and get dirty from it again. It is rolled from our back and pushed away, far beyond what we can see.

“10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” 
Psalm 103:10-12
