You sinned. We all sin. We’re human. Sinning is a part of life. We may try to be perfect but we are imperfect, even though a perfect God created us. So, when you sin, repent. Then, move on. I’m not making light of sin. But dwelling on your sins is like quicksand—you will never escape. Sin will suck you under. So, you have to repent and move forward.
When you repent, it has to be the real deal. It’s not just a “Hey God, I’m sorry.” It’s deep in your soul sorry. You truly repent and do everything to sin no more. But we do sin, and often commit the same sin over and over again. But you have to call for God to help you stop sinning. Repent. For real!
When we wallow in our guilt we just get stuck and can’t move forward. The devil loves to whisper in our ears that we are bad and need to feel guilt. He wants our hands tied, and feet as well, stuck in place. That’s why we need to truly repent and move forward.
When you repent, understand that Jesus has already died on the cross for your sins. They are gone. But you have to repent to close the deal. Jesus didn’t die for all sins—past present, and future—on a whim. He did it to remove sin from the world—when we repent. That’s the trick.
So, repent and move on. Repent and move on. You’re free.
Enjoy the week ahead as we approach the birth of our Christ!
