Pressing Forward

Let’s face it—we’re all imperfect. Imperfect children of a perfect God. Like everyone else, I screw up more times than I like or should. The flesh takes over the spirit and we simply give in to the flesh. That’s life. But when I do screw up I try not to beat myself up but press forward.

I have found that the worst thing you can do is beat yourself up after you screw up. The devil loves to pile on and make you look back at what you did rather than forward to what you should be doing. Devil back. God ahead.

Let me give you a news break if you don’t already know it. God knows everything you have done and everything you will do. He sees everything. He wants you to keep pressing forward not backward in a pool of self incrimination.

There’s a reason why God the Father sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins. So, when you admit you did something wrong and ask for forgiveness, you are forgiven. Jesus already has wiped those sins off the board. Now press forward!

Don’t look back only to not make the same wrong again. Learn from your mistakes but don’t wallow in them. Press forward!

Have a GREAT rest of the week and remember to press forward!!!
