The Gift of Forgiveness
Weightless living
Psalm 103: 3 
He forgives your sins—every one.
He heals your diseases—every one.
He redeems you from hell—saves your life!
May we never be so busy with all of our busyness of family, ministry and work that we lose sight of the One Who paid for our total redemption.
Oh, how great is our salvation!
Let us not forget the reason for our celebration--JESUS!

Hebrews 12:2
2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. 

Romans 5:20 The Message (MSG)
20-21All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.
Because we have been forgiven so aggressively and with such love, we are now in a position to forgive others.
We can miss the traps of sin and distraction by looking steadily at the finished work of Jesus Christ.  
We lay aside the distracting weight our past and no longer rehearse it, or nurse it but look  straight ahead  to Jesus, the giver and completer of faith.
We are running in the victory lane with the supernatural energy that the Spirit supplies.
May you and your loved ones have a blessed, safe, and joyful Celebration of our wonderful Lord’s birth.
Merry Christmas!
In His amazing love,
