Summary
As we near the end of our week, creating space every day to simply have our affections stirred up for God, we’re going to take time today to look at God’s heart to forgive us. God’s forgiveness is as constant as our need for his forgiveness. And today, I hope and pray that he reveals his heart to forgive us completely and immediately when we confess our sin to him, and his heart to constantly restore us to intimacy with him.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 John 1:9, and today's worship is Forgive by Crowder.

There are two things you and I need most: secure connection and unconditional love.
It’s impossible to live with confidence unless we have the sense of self that comes from secure connection with our heavenly Father. And it’s impossible to fully love ourselves and others unless we experience and trust in the unconditional love of the one who gave us life.
We pray our printed devotionals, Closer and Love, help people like you experience the connection and unconditional love available to you in God every morning.
Everything changes when we live from a place of secure connection and unending love. Get your copy at supportfirst15.com!
