Jeremiah 49-51

Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria. But I will bring Israel back to his own pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his appetite will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead. In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare.

God's grace and forgiveness is beyond our understanding. To us, as you mentioned yesterday, it is so hard to forgive others even once. It is in our nature to be unforgiving and hold grudges. However, God always forgives all of our sins all the time. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

It is important for us not to take God's grace for granted. Let us ask God to cleanse and purify our hearts and help us to extend our forgiveness to people around us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
