Warnings from God – Forgiveness of God - Part 2

Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a prostitute (Delilah), and he went in to her. Judges 16:1

Some say, "God is forgiving, so I will sin again and again and come to God again and again with a repentant heart and ask for forgiveness of my sin." If you have taken God's grace for granted and you think that you will continue in sin and come to God for forgiveness, then let me tell you the truth, "Sin will keep you away from prayer and God." Soon you will not come to God even for asking forgiveness of your sins. But if you are true and really want deliverance from your sin/addictions then you will have to come to God with a sincere heart. Then you don't keep the count of your sins, but you keep the count of God's goodness, in forgiving you. He will forgive you. You may change immediately, or you will take time to change. This means that God is ready to forgive a person who is willing to change, without keeping the count of his sins and even how many times He will have to forgive that person. You may or may not make a major change, thats fine with God as long as you are changing. Slow and steady wins the race. Slow but steadily you have to make progress.

Every time you ask forgiveness, you are actually changing. It might not be very evident to you, but you are changing. You wouldn't have come to God asking for forgiveness if you didn't want to change. Those who have the attitude of taking God's grace for granted, by not willing to change and ask for forgiveness will soon stop coming to God. Coming back to God is the evidence of the truth that you are willing to change and God is working in you. God will not give up on you, no matter how slow you might be. You may be like the Caterpillar crawling to see the changes in you, but soon you will be changed from the Caterpillar to a Butterfly and start flying. Don't give up only because the process is slow. Remember God is patient with you, so you be patient with the work of God in you and be patient with yourself. Don't panic nor give up, till you see the change in you. God bless you
