Stop reminding yourself of your failure.
Quit repeating things like, “I haven’t done everything right.” Or, “I wish I had not done…”
Instead, be grateful that you did not do everything wrong! Stop condemning yourself. Berating yourself is neither healthy nor helpful. Of course you’re not perfect. No, you did not do everything right… but the Blood has you covered.
Forgiveness was God’s idea. Christ died in your place to release you from your guilt—BELIEVE it, ACCEPT it, CONFESS it, and REVEL in it. When your name is written in heaven you have the right to glory in your Redeemer.
So if you have sinned…
- ADMIT it
- QUIT it
- And FORGET it
Wallowing in remorse and guilt does not glorify the Lord.
Confess your sin.
Claim the cleansing, and start praising!
Close that sad chapter and start writing a new one… TODAY!
