Our Gracious God

Have you ever had one of those "bleh" moments? They really stink! I had one for a few days. I kept telling myself that God was never able to forgive me, and that I would be stuck forever. Pfft! Okay so I know the truth, but sometimes it is hard to listen to our own advice right? Whenever I find a verse that I can relate to, I cling to it! Last night, well actually, at 2 this morning, I walked into my room and noticed that one of my sticky notes fell off my wall. I was actually kind of mad because I didn't want the sticky note to be on my floor, but rather on my wall! When I went to pick it up, I decided to read it. I remember writing this verse on the sticky note and sticking it to my door because I figured I would read it everytime I left my room! Here is what it said! Pslam 103:8-9 "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will He harbor His anger forever!" I love how things come to us right when we need to hear them! So I know the blehness wont go away right away, but being able to actually go to God and know that He is not angry with me, but loves me more than I can ever imagine really helped. This graciousness of His has also reminded me that we are to be in His image. Does that not also mean that we should be gracious as well? Slow to anger? We are all going to make mistakes, and we are not perfect, but our awesome God will always be there to catch us!
