Forgiven and Loved

Lord let me always remember that I am no longer under your judgement but under your grace. I've tried it on my own, trying to earn your approval through my own efforts, but I have come up inadequate to meet your perfect standards every time.

My Father's response to my simple plea....He sings this over me and everyone else who has been born again into His family: "Child, you're forgiven and loved."

About 3 months ago I heard this song called Forgiven and Loved by Jimmy Needham and it just really touched my heart besides that this guy has an amazing voice....and I got a tattoo today, and I am completely in love with it....When ever I feel that I am not worthy of my Father's forgiveness or love its right there on my arm and I will never be able to take it off or make it go away and that makes happy!

God’s love is true and reliable, but sometimes we don’t feel worthy to be loved by God. Sometimes because of things that happened in our past we think the Lord could never love us. Don't be trapped in Satan's lie that God could never forgive nor love you.

God's love for us is beyond our human comprehension and for that "you may be filled with all the fullness of God." -Eph.3:18-19

Nothing can separate us from God's love
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created things, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom. 8:38-39

A believer receives God's forgiveness when he repents of sin and places his faith in Jesus Christ for salvation -- all of his sins are forgiven forever. Jesus died to pay the penalty for all of our sins, and once they are forgiven, they are all forgiven

Here it is....

and to top it off...my friend Terrance from when I went to school at Cooper got to do it for me!

He did a great job! =)

Romans 8:1-"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
