slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
--Psalm 103:8-14
What a good reminder this morning as I read of how God doesn't hold on to our sins once we confessed them. And oh how I struggle with that - with hurt from the past or even with Ethan. Brian continually reminds me that this is a new day and to let go of whatever frustration I had with Ethan from the day before. Our God is merciful and gracious indeed!
