All in Abandoned

Much Sin, Much Forgiveness, and Much Love

Richard Forbes
Abandoned, Christian, Daily Devotional, Forgiveness

Several years ago, I read a devotional about realizing the depth of our sins, and in it the author took a different view of them and turned the depravity of sin from one of heartbreak and remorse into the amazing heights to which we would be raised at the moment of our forgiveness. He encouraged those with the darkest of sins to confess them, repent from them, and ask the Lord for forgiveness not just because of the relief they would feel but because of the incredible love they would experience between themselves and God at that moment when He forgave them.

Lost? Fear not the Wilderness, Forests, or Sinfulness that Surrounds You

Are you wandering in your faith, or worse than that are you lost in it? Do you want to go home, but not how to get there? Sometimes we become lost for no reason of our own, we think we know where we are until suddenly we realize that we are lost. At other times it is because we didn’t follow directions, but occasionally we are intentionally led away and left to our own devices. All of this can happen to us in our journey of faith, but Jesus, and our Holy Father come to find us.

Abandoned, Depressed, and the Tempering of God’s Silence

Are you filled with sadness and depression today? In particular, is there a void within you because of a feeling of separation from God? There is no loneliness greater than to be in a place without God’s presence, but if that is your feeling today then take heart, and call on the name of Jesus because He too walked through the valley of the shadow of death... just as you are now doing.
