Accepting Forgiveness

A Big Welcome to our Girlfriends from Encouragement for Today

Today my devotion, An Unaccepting Heart is running on Proverbs 31 Ministries’ Encouragement for Today. I am excited to have new friends visiting my sight. The Lord has prepared a special message for us. I pray you will be blessed and encouraged to accept God’s grace and accept His complete forgiveness.

Keys to living with an accepting heart:

Confess: this reconciles our heart to God’s heart

Know Truth: this reconciles our heart with our heart (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Live Redeemed: this frees us to enjoy our walk with God (1 Peter 1:18)

  1. My heart is truly Full with this message and the song. Your message gave this song complete new meaning, and I would love for everyone to hear the intent of this Truth. I am visiting your site but just had to sign up for it. Thank you seems so small. Yes, I know I am forgiven, it is in the little every day things I struggle with that I have trouble forgiving myself, or just sometimes want to give up on the habits I just can’t let go of. Lord help me in these, I am so ready to Live fuller and deeper In Christ and His truth.
    God bless you for sharing. In His strength, I am so willing to have a life lived in HIS Light of Truth, smashing the Lies of satan, and living in the Brilliant Rays of THE SON! Praise His Name!

  2. Thank you so much for today’s devotion! It is truly amazing to see how God blends everything together to give us what we so desperately need. I struggle from time to time with guilt from the past, seems I make peace, move on only to repeat the same mess again. The last few days I have been struggling, mentioned it to a friend whom I found was also struggling with the same thing. My friend & I attended a bible study just last night where this very topic was discuses, with all the other women declaring the same problem! I was woke in the night with the same scripture you mention in 2 Cor. The spirit was reminding me to take my thoughts captive & examine them under the light of the precious & powerful truth of God’s word. Again, thank you for sharing this truth, I have emailed it to my friend & shared it on Facebook, so others may be blessed. Thanks again for following the spirit in what to post, His timing is perfect!!

    Many Blessings!

  3. My how God’s timing is always most perfect. Thank you for sharing, this post is an answer to my prayers these last few days. As condemning myself over and over for mistakes, errors and sins of the past is a ploy of the enemy holding me captive. God through you as His vessel have given me new tools to work with to combat the enemy. I have been “Redeemed”, at a great price, my ransom has been paid, and the Victory belongs to God. My greatest desire is never to cause Gods heart to grieve and My Lord Jesus to shed any more blood because of me. Today I choose to accept what was, God knows if I could change my past I would, but I cannot, so I have no other choice if I want to be FREE. I declare now, I have been forgiven, I have been Redeemed. Thank you God. I love you. In Jesus name I pray. Thank you for this beautiful gift that went straight to my heart, to free me from the attract of condemnation upon me. Thank you for hearing and answer my prayers. The victory is yours. Amen.

  4. Thank you Wendy! I appreciate this devotional today and hearing the Big Daddy Weave song. The words in that song says it all. It touched my heart. I have been praying and God is answering my prayers. He is saying He loves me, he forgives me, and he will take care of me.

  5. This song has such meaning for me. I raise my hand in worship at “I am redeemed, you set me free”. One Sunday my pastor asked me to share a testimony of how I had led a woman to Christ. Our family had a very tragic death of a young man and she was searching for answers. I never thought that I could lead anyone to Christ, let alone this women who I did not like. So I shared my testimony and afterwards Pastor Joe played the music video of Big Daddy Weave “I am redeemed”. This song just brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It was a meant to be today. thank you
