There Should Be No Doubt. Psalm 103 1-22

Psalm 103 (NKJV) Praise for the Lord’s Mercies A Psalm of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. 14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. 17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, 18 To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. 19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all. 20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. 21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul! If you have any doubt God forgives your sins, this Psalm should dissolve them. Let's look at all the ways God forgives relayed to us here. He forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases (v3), redeems our life from destruction and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies(v4), satisfies our mouth with good things and our youth is renewed like the eagle’s (v5). He executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed (v6), is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy (v8). He will not always strive with us or keep His anger forever (v9). He does not dealt with us according to our sins or punish us according to our iniquities (v10). For as the heavens are high above the earth, great is His mercy toward those who fear Him (v 11). He removes our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west (v12) I love that part! Yet we are made from dust (v14). Even so, the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting and from generation to generation (v 17). In addition, Isaiah 1:18 says "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool". And in Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins". So stop being so hard on yourself. Ask forgiveness and move on. God wants to forgive you, you just have to accept it. Blessings, Cecilia
