A grandmother was celebrating her 50th anniversary with guests. A granddaughter asked the secret to a long and happy marriage. The grandmother explained, "On my wedding day I decided to make a list of ten of my husband's faults which, for the sake of the marriage, I would overlook and forgive." A guest asked for some examples of those faults, to which the grandmother replied, "To tell you the truth, I never did get around to making the list. But whenever my husband did something that made me hopping mad, I'd say to myself, 'Lucky for him, that's one of the ten!'"

Lucky for us that God has made a list of those faults which he is willing to forgive and lucky for us that every possible sin imaginable is on that list. God is infinitely loving and forgiving. There is nothing we can do that God is not willing to forgive.
