Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of your possession? He does not retain his anger for ever, because he delights in showing clemency. He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and unswerving loyalty to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old. (Micah 7:18-20, NRSV)
Have you ever really thought about this?
I mean we love the fact that God pardons all of our transgressions, sins, wrong doings, but why should He?
I mean He is the creator of everything, why should He put up with us?
He puts up with us and forgives us because He is compassionate, and loves to love His children. Just like a father who loves to hold his child close to him and feel them breathing, that is what God loves to do with you, and if He did not forgive you, He could never do this.
God is compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love!
