When our feelings have been hurt,
and our sense of what’s right offended,
it’s wise to remember,
in every way we have been offended,
we have offended God worse.
And although He is holy
and has never hurt us,
He forgives our offenses,
every time we ask Him to.
For although they knew God,
they did not honor Him as God
or give thanks to Him,
but they became futile in their thinking,
and their foolish hearts were darkened.
For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified by His grace as a gift,
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 1:21, 3:23-24, 1 John 1:9 ESV
