... but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
This verse is so visual - almost like a 3D movie - I can feel myself soaring through the sky as I read. This is what forgiveness feels like - total freedom. Just think - eagles have no roads that they must follow ....... no street lights or stop signs needed to soar, fly and glide through the air. This is the same feeling as being forgiven - running and not growing tired, walking and not becoming weak - absolutely free.
This forgiveness freedom is for everyone! Jesus died for our sins that we might be forgiven and have everlasting life. This is God's gift to everyone and all we have to do is accept it - simply pray to God and say that you believe in Jesus Christ and thank God for His gift of forgiveness.
Forgiveness does not mean that we are free to do whatever we want - we must still live according to God's will. Our Christian walk is a daily struggle and we need to be refreshed and strengthened - No matter where you are in your Christian walk (a new Christian or an older seasoned Christian). Our spiritual strength needs to be renewed daily through prayer, scripture reading, worship and fellowship.
Let us hope in the Lord and renew our strength daily!
