06.29 Evening:

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins.―I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine Own sake, and will not remember thy sins.―Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.―I will remember their sin no more.―Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.―Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity, . . .? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.―Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His Own blood.

Ps 25:7 Isa 44:22 43:25 1:18 Jer 31:34 Mic 7:19 Is 38:17 Mic 7:18 Re 1:5

The Lord is gracious

The Lord is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

He also exalteth the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Praise ye the Lord.
