Psalm 32:5 (NLT) Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” and you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Philippians 3:13 (NLT) ...but I focus on this one thing; Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead...
For some folk, forgiving others is difficult. For some folk, forgiving others is far easier to do than forgiving oneself. I fall into the latter category. My brain keeps muddling over past personal mistakes and faux pas and usually it’s my husband who reminds me, “Let it go!” If my Heavenly Father forgives me; then I am forgiven and I have no right to dredge up the past.
That’s a good lesson for all of us. When we take our errors, mistakes, blunders, and faux pas to the Lord, we need to “Let it go!” because our Savior has covered it all with his blood. Now reality tells us there may be lasting consequences for our words or actions; but our Heavenly Father provides all the strength, comfort, and guidance to see us through. Trust him, and “Let it go!”
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Thank you for each time you forgive our many flaws and mistakes. Help us to trust you as we let go of the past and look forward to what lies ahead.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
