I love the promises of God.  There is much recorded about His favor towards Israel.  There is also much recorded about those who simply believe!  They will be grafted in to the heritage promised to Israel!  What a marvelous gift to all who accept the precious gift of Jesus' tremendous offering of love!  The cross has become the powerful victory over our sin.  It is what paid the price for our humanity and gives us eternal hope!  Though we were lost, we can be found if the blood of Jesus becomes our covering and righteousness.  His blood was the once and for all sacrifice for the sins of mankind.  

If your sins seem too big, too shameful, or too numerous, remember that the One who paid for them was bigger than the total of all the sins of the world - from beginning to end!  He is in the business of restoration!  His grace is sufficient for ALL.  No sin is bigger than His ability to forgive!  His promises to all who will just accept His forgiveness out number the stars of the heavens and the sands of the sea!!  Say yes to eternal treasure!  You are the reason Jesus came to earth to live, die and rise again!

"His shoots will sprout, and His beauty will be like the olive tree and His fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.  Those who live in His shadow will again raise grain, and they will blossom like the vine.  His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon."  Hosea 14:6,7ea 14
