When we were first born again, the main thing to do was to ask
the Lord to forgive us of all our sins. We were taught that we
must go on forgiving others. We quickly learned that our first
footsteps on the road to heaven were rough. Forgiveness was put
to the test right away.  In fact from that point on
forgiveness has always been the ceaseless requirement of God for
us. Jesus died on His cross for the ultimate forgiveness of the
sins of all mankind.   


One of the things He says is "Father, forgive them for they know
not what they do." Forgiveness in many instances can be easy when
there are small transgressions against us. While there are others
that are so egregious that it feels that it is impossible to
forgive, though in our hearts we want to in obedience to Jesus.
Then there are other sins we commit along the way that hurt
others, even in the name of the Lord, "thinking we are doing
God's service." 


Recently I had a dream where I saw a person who I had no idea how
badly I hurt. That person in my dream hung their head very low,
and told me what I did that caused them to sin. I instantly
mourned and was deeply, profoundly sorry. I had no idea. I arose
and went out to pray. I did more than pray, I poured out my soul
to the God. The Lord showed me that it is one thing to forgive
others for sinning against us, and another thing to ask God to
forgive us for sinning against others. But I did not know that
there had been people in my life that I caused to sin, who went
on to cause others to sin. It set off a chain reaction. I had no
ability to see that far and deep.  


I had no idea about this realm of sin, and the tentacles that it
has. How we can say or do something to a person in harshness, and
they go away and take it out on others, who then take it out on
others. I never saw that. God is a good parent, and like all good
parents He teaches in illustrations and pictures. That is when
God gave me a dream. In my dream He showed me plainly the depth
of my own sin, and how to make it right. I could not wait to do
it, even though I know it might be met with rejection.
  


Yet I was given the power to do it with great joy and peace. The
freedom came and His light shone in my darkness. If we are to lay
down our lives for Christ, it cannot truly be done until we go to
Him in heartfelt prayer and ask us to show us what is in us. Then
He will show us what we cannot see, and give us the mercy and
blessing of clearing ourselves in confessing our sins to Him. To
have our spotted garments washed clean in the Blood of the Lamb.
   


In the midst of his misery, Spurgeon discovered a mercy wider
than his wounds and deeper than his depravity.   “Print
every word of that in diamonds, 'I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.'”  Spurgeon believed
– and we must believe – that God is in the business of new
beginnings. No sin is greater than Christ’s desire to forgive it.
No conscience is too stained that God cannot wash it white.
 Whatever guilt you are feeling today, be encouraged that
the same God who didn't abandon Spurgeon will not abandon you.
 Take Jesus's words to heart: “Come to me all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
