my devotion: Psalm 103

I have been trying to read Psalms each morning for encouragement. This morning, these verses jumped out at me from Psalm 103:

10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us

Being in China, I feel so far away from my family and friends. I am in the Far East and they are in the West. Scripture says that this is how far our sins have been separated for us because of His grace. That's amazing. Truly amazing.
