"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves - from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person - neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive..."
OK so it's not a Bible verse, but since it's her birthday (her actual birthday is 21 April FYI), it's a quote from the Queen... a person who despite her power and wealth, knows the need for a Saviour, knows the need for forgiveness, and knows that is found in Jesus :)
Sometimes we need saving from ourselves.
Jesus has forgiven us, but sometimes we just won't or can't seem to let things go...He came to give freedom and peace that is found in forgiveness.
It's at the Cross where this is found. Where we find a Saviour who absorbs all our stuff, takes it on, takes it in, and gives back Love.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
