and from A List Worth Keeping: “Perhaps, then, the unforgiveness in my heart is a symptom of a larger problem: that I have forgotten just how much forgiveness God granted me, and at how great a price!”
Interesting point. Reminds me of 2 Peter 1, where soon after a bunch of good qualities are listed, in verse 9 it is written: “For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.”
There is power in the blood. A power I hope to feel on a regular basis. There is a difference between having the knowledge of the power and practicing the life of its power.

He who has been forgiven much, loves much….Jesus said something like that when people were whining about a sinner paying lots of attention to Him. If I feel like I am not loving God much, I try to remind myself of this–that I have been forgiven much. Reflecting on His great grace, His forgiveness freely and totally given to me moment by moment, day by day, until the day I pass…this is what brings me to loving much…good verse, Rachael…
