1 My soul, praise the Lord, and all that is within me, praise His Holy Name. 2 My soul, praises the Lord, and do not forget all His benefits. 3 He forgives all your sin; He heals all your diseases. 4 He redeems your life from the pit; He crowns you with faithful love and compassion. 5 He satisfies you with goodness; your youth is renewed like the eagle. 6 The Lord executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. . . . 8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and full of faithful love. 9 He will not always accuse [us] or be angry forever. . . . 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions (sins) from us. . . . Psalms 103:1-5, 8-9, 12 (HCSB).
Psalms 103 offers praise to God for His great and endless love for us. Often, we focus on God as Judge, but God is also filled with compassion, patience, mercy, grace, and forgiveness (Exodus 34:6-7; Numbers 14:18). If we wholeheartedly turn to Him, God will forgive our sins, heal our sickness, and provide for our needs. But we must first turn to God, turn away from our sins, and seek Him. No person, possession, or wealth can ever match God’s endless and true love for us. God will give you a lasting and true peace, if you will open our hearts to Him.
We do not have to be formal or firm with God, but only open and honest about our problems, concerns, desires, needs, and future. Never forget that no matter what you have done, God forgives! He removes and forgets our sins if we will seek His forgiveness. God’s love and forgiveness are massive and complete. God is a Father to the fatherless and hope for the hopeless. So never forget that God loves you!
