Isaiah 40; Hosea 12; Luke 10:25-42

Forgiveness is central to our faith. If it weren’t for forgiveness every evil thing we have ever said or done would be held against us. We could never escape them. Our failures, sins and faults would follow us forever, hanging over our head like a scarlet letter. But forgiveness is like getting a brand new life every day! The past is forgiven. We get a fresh new start every time we turn to God in repentance. John Roberts

LORD God, there is no God in heaven or on earth like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. When we sin against You, and You become angry with us yet when we come to ourselves and repent, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’; and when we return to You with all our heart and with all our soul hear our prayer and their supplications, and maintain our cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You. Now, my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and let Your ears be attentive to the prayer made in this place. Arise, O LORD God, Let Your people, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, And let Your saints rejoice in goodness. O LORD God, do not turn your face away from us; remember your mercies. Praise the LORD, For He is good, for His mercy endures forever.
