Psalms 25:11-12
11 For your names sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
My Reflection:
The first thing that comes to mind for me when reading this particular passage of text is the fact that we all want, need and require forgiveness. While for many the first step to acquiring that forgiveness, be it from man or from God is that we ask, there are those who don't ask because they don't feel like there is anything to be forgiven for. To this I say...you/I.we are wrong...we all require forgiveness, if from no one else, from God because we have all sinned and fallen short.
Something else this passage required me to do was look within. I know who and what I'm embarking on this journey of forgiveness about, but, I also have to ask myself...are there any people that I owe an apology to? Is there something that I need to say "I'm sorry" to God about. Honestly, I can say that I am sure there are things and while they are not at the forefront of my mind right now, I believe that during the next 40 days they will come to light and I (with God's help) will work through them, seek forgiveness, and cast them into the sea of forgetfulness.
Well....that's day one...
Love...Peace...&...Poetry
