Nehemiah 9:17 "And they refused to listen and did not remember Thy wondrous deeds which thou hadst performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But thou art a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness; And Thou didst not forsake them."
To be mindful of the love and compassion of God is where we begin to grow into a strong tower of God's character. God's forgiveness is how we know that He loves us. God corrects those whom He loves and this is how we as God's people grow in stature and wisdom.
I have learned about God's forgiveness throughout my life from my experiences. It is hard to try and live a perfect life. Just when we think we have it all figured out, something changes and we learn something new. Relationships demand a lot of attention and unconditional love. We know that we are not always going to say or do the right thing, and therefore we must remember to dwell upon the love that brought us together in the first place. Forgiving one another and moving forward is how we make true progress.
Experiences help us to know how to not be insensitive to one another. Being sensitive is what I strive to do all of the time. Sometimes more than others, but the bottom line is that it remains to be a constant in my life and my relationships. God's compassion is what I attempt to demonstrate in my relationships. For there is no greater love than that which is built from God's forgiveness and compassion.
I continue to hope and pray to be the best husband and father, built up in the fullness of God.
