"Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." - Micah 7:18-19

Dysfunctional families run rampant in our society. Anger and rage fills the air with bitterness lingering for years. Forgiveness is a rare commodity for most and keeping records of wrongdoing seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Where can we find a willing heart that is ready to put aside anger and extend the kind of compassion that pardons iniquity delights in long lasting love?

When most relationships crumble as a result of hard unforgiving hearts the Lord steps up and reveals a love that pardons and passes over rebellion and disobedience. When the soul comes in repentance and confession, the Lord "will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." The family of God is far from dysfunctional because there is love and compassion in abundance.

No matter what you have experienced in your earthly relationships my friend, there is someone who "delights in steadfast love" who will welcome you with open arms. He will pardon your sins, cast them into the sea and welcome you into His eternal family. Don't wait any longer, come to the one who offers rest to all who are weary and heavy laden (Matthew 11:28)... come to Jesus today.
