  Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin.

  Here's your host, Angel Santana. Good morning, everyone. Yeah,
• 0:42
  that's a quick version. And why? I have to head into work a little early.
• 0:46
  Well, I'm going to get right into it. We've been talking about fearing of God.
• 0:50
  So today we're going to talk about forgiveness.
• 0:52
  And the quick question is, do you believe that God forgives?
• 0:58
  Because many of you have asked me, do you believe God should forgive?
• 1:02
  The answer is very, very quick and easy. Yes, all around. God forgives.
• 1:08
  If you ever feel that you are further away from God, if you ever feel that you
• 1:14
  are not living the life that you should,
• 1:17
  if you ever feel that God is looking down upon you or looking at you directly
• 1:23
  and saying, come on, man, you could do better than that. Come on, you could do better.
• 1:27
  It's okay to have a conversation with him. And it's okay to say to yourself, I can do better.
• 1:32
  I want the Lord to forgive me. He forgives you.
• 1:36
  I want the Lord to be proud of me. I am sure he is proud of you.
• 1:42
  I want to do things the right way.
• 1:44
  I want to live life as close to God as I can and try to walk the walk.
• 1:50
  Not easy, but doable.
• 1:52
  And God will do it with you. Quite often we say to ourselves,
• 1:56
  I don't believe that God would forgive me for what I just did.
• 2:01
  And the answer is, yes, he would.
• 2:04
  But do you forgive yourself and have you learned from your mistakes?
• 2:08
  Have you learned from your things that you've done or think about doing that
• 2:12
  you feel that somewhere down the line God does not approve of?
• 2:17
  Ask for your forgiveness and he will forgive. Learn to live life to the fullest.
• 2:23
  Learn to have a relationship with God and learn to take a few minutes out of
• 2:28
  your day, whether you're brushing your teeth, driving to work,
• 2:33
  washing your hair, quick prayer and let God know that he knows because he already
• 2:39
  does know that you love him just as much as he loves you.
• 2:42
  Think about that today and remember that God forgives you.
• 2:46
  God believes in you. God trusts you and God is never gonna leave your side.
• 2:51
  Now that is not an excuse for you to do things negatively and say,
• 2:55
  well, that's okay, God forgives and then do something else. oh,
• 2:58
  that's okay, God forgives.
• 3:00
  Don't take God's love and forgiveness and understanding for granted.
• 3:06
  Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the things that you're doing that maybe
• 3:10
  he wouldn't approve of, but know that no matter what we do in life and no matter
• 3:16
  how many times we fall, he will always pick us up.
• 3:19
  Think about that today and never forget, to have faith, let it begin.
• 3:24
  Thank you for listening to Have Faithful Begin. I'll be back tomorrow.
