A little side note: God is ready to forgive!

My daily reading today was from Psalm 86. You can imagine my excitement when I came across verse 5, which is in almost perfect alignment with yesterday's post.
"For you, Lord, are good and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon you." Psalm 86:5 (NASB)
There it is again! God is waiting to show grace, longing to show compassion, ready to forgive and save all those who call on him. God doesn't forgive us unwillingly; he does it eagerly!
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:11-13 (NIV)
The Lord's name is Jesus.
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die so that we might see just how much he longs to forgive us and be reconciled to us. Aaaaah! There is no one like God! Let's call on His name and keep calling on his name!
