When we sin, do we go to God and ask for forgiveness?
After asking Him for forgiveness especially of our most terrible mistakes, do we still feel that we should kind of pay for those stupid mistakes instead of getting away from them scotch-free? Without any recompense?
Recently I committed a driving offense, my cashcard was not inserted properly into the IU in my vehicle and I missed the ERP deduction (some kind of a road tax for using the road on busy hours).
Immediately after I realised my mistake, I telephone the authority to explain to them that it was purely an unintentional mistake.
However, I was told to wait for the letter which meant I would be issued a fine for the offence.
After I received the letter, I wrote in to appeal for waiver of the fine via email to the one who sent me the letter.
He replied the very next day by sending me a letter to waive off the fine.
While I was checking out on my email daily for his reply.
It was until the last day to pay up for the fine and there was no response forth coming. So I obediently paid the fine as failing to pay up after the deadline would incur heavier penalty charges.
I paid up just after midnight of the last day and I emailed to the authority about my remittance.
Today we checked the mailbox, and lo and behold, there was the reply letter to waive off the fine!
And when I switched on my computer to check my email,
the officer replied my email too.
He said that they would honour the waiver and I would be
receiving a cheque for that waiver as I had already paid the fine.
You can imagine how wonderful I felt.
And indeed if we think a little deeper, even a human being
could show one another such grace. How much more God our heavenly daddy?
Even if we thought our sins were not forgiven and
we worked hard to earn our salvation
yet, grace would still be extended
and God would indeed honour His Word given to us
through His Son Jesus Christ.
The God of the Universe
the Creator of heaven and earth
cannot lie.
Surely blessing He would bless us,
multiply He would multiply us.
It is entirely based on Him honouring His Word
and nothing we could do could stop Him from blessing us and
loving us and showering us with more blessings!
Praise Jesus who made these all possible for us.
Amen and all glory be to Jesus!
Amen
