Psalm 103:10-12
“He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
This psalm is a song of praise to God, likely written by David, celebrating God's compassionate character and forgiveness. It reminds the community that despite human failings, God's steadfast love and mercy prevail.
What does it mean to extend a similar measure of compassion and distance our own and others' mistakes from who we are, rather than holding them perpetually close?
