Lent devotions 2011: Monday 14 March

I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD’,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. — Psalm 32:5

This passage shows me that the Lord is a forgiving and loving God and that when you make mistakes and sin, you can turn to Him and not be scared to do so. He will always be there to guide you in life and if you are sorry for your transgression, you will be forgiven, and hopefully we will learn not to do them again.

Lord God, thank You for the amazing gift of forgiveness. Teach us to always remember Your unfailing love and to trust You for it every day, no matter what. Amen.
