“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Psalm 103:12

[Henry Zittrower @HenryZittrower]

This verse isn't about minimizing our wrongdoings; rather, it's an invitation to fully embrace the freedom God offers. It's about recognizing that while our memory might be long, God's forgiveness is infinitely longer. He doesn't just forgive; He removes our transgressions

HE DOES NOT ASK MUCH OF US, merely a THOUGHT of Him from time to time, a little ACT of adoration, sometimes to ask for His grace, sometimes to OFFER Him your sufferings, at other times to thank Him for the graces, past and present, He has bestowed on you, in

Lift up your heart to Him during your meals and in company; the least little remembrance will always be the most pleasing to Him.

To encounter God is to experience his goodness.

To spend time in his presence is to experience the very “favor and honor” that only comes from his nearness.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8

wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!

There is nothing better in life than ENCOUNTERING God because it’s ONLY in his presence that WE ARE TRULY SATISFIED.

with a heart open to Him and to our faith community.

Confession enacts healing.

Do you have that person?

[Henry Zittrower @HenryZittrower]

Whatever the circumstances may be, that Holy Innocent Eternal Child must be in contact with His Father.

Christians have received both.

Because of the mercy of God, we are saved. Look for ways to be merciful to others as God has been merciful to you. D.Jeremiah

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.
