Luke 23:34
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.
While on the cross, Jesus spoke words no one wanted to hear. Words that sounded foolish to some at the time… but words that would one day bring hope and salvation to the entire world.

Psalm 32:1
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
We all try to keep our sin hidden, because if it’s truly discovered, we’re afraid people will stop loving us. But in God’s upside-down world, the way to truly find forgiveness isn’t by hiding our sin—it’s by bringing it into the light, to the only One who can cover it completely.

Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
If you could see a scale with all your sins piled on one side and all the good you’ve done stacked on the other…it might be a little humbling. Since the bad would outweigh the good by a lot. But here’s the beautiful part of the gospel: when you become a follower of Christ, your standing with God isn’t determined by your goodness. It’s determined by His.

Psalm 86:5
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
When you think of steadfast love, one picture that comes to mind is a puppy. You can scold it for chewing your shoes, and five minutes later it’s still at your door just happy to see you. There’s something about that loyal, unwavering affection that melts your heart. And as sweet as that is, it’s only a tiny glimpse of something much greater. Because God’s love for you doesn’t waver on a bad day, doesn’t disappear when you mess up. It’s always there.

Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
They say, ‘To err is human, to forgive, divine.’ And yet, God calls us to follow in His footsteps. Because the truth is simple: if we’re all guilty at some point, then we all need to give each other grace at some point too.

Isaiah 30:18
Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!
We spend so much of our lives waiting. We wait in line at the grocery store. We wait for our online orders to arrive. We wait for our turn at an amusement park. Waiting is just part of life. So it shouldn’t surprise us that the Lord sometimes asks us to wait too—not as a punishment, but as a way of preparing us to receive His help.
