God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. – Hebrews 6:10

Psalm 103:12 says that God takes our our sin and removes it from us “as far as the east is from the west.” In Isaiah 43:25 God says, “I will forget your sins.” I find verses like these so comforting because more often than not, I want God to forget what I’ve done.

This verse reminds me that God isn’t only paying attention to the stuff I mess up so God can forgive it, God is deeply invested in my life because God is rooting for me to succeed. When I am taking steps that allow me to better follow Jesus, I am taking steps toward being the version of myself that God created me to be.

As you go through your day today, may you feel the encouragement of God. Imagine God looking at you and delighting in you. And know that when you show love to others, you are showing your love to and for God.
