Don’t Beat Yourself Up!

I screwed up. If truth be known, I screw up now and again. We all do. That’s part of being human. We are simply not perfect. We are imperfect children of a perfect God. But the one thing we can’t do is beat ourselves up. We have to repent—truly repent—and move on.

God doesn’t want me or you to beat ourselves up. The devil wants us to do that. That’s because beating ourselves up over what we did wrong keeps us in the past and focused on how we screwed up. God wants us to learn and move forward. The devil wants us to keep back, frozen from moving forward.

Life is full of twists and turns. We often walk down the wrong path to dead ends. God wants us walking forward on His path, the path laid out by Jesus. It’s the Spirit who guides us along the right path, keeping us focused ahead. It’s the devil that whispers in our ear to take us off the right path.

Admit what you did wrong, and repent with your heart and mind. Then, move on. LISTEN for and to God to guide you along His path, the path that Jesus laid out and that the Spirit guides us along.

Have an AWESOME week ahead, moving ahead on the right path!
