Goooood morning friends! It's been a while (2 years!) since I've written anything here... but today I have something to share.
Do you ever feel like your life is like playing the game Chutes & Ladders (SNAKES & Ladders for toddlers)? You're moving along just fine... 3 steps here, 4 steps there, climb up a ladder... you're feelin' good... take 2 more steps forward... but then you make a wrong move and fall down the chute almost back to the beginning.
Life fail.
Been there. Bought the scarf that matches the t-shirt.
Cleansing Streams (a course at church that teaches walking in the Spirit) has really helped me in this area. So has reading the book of Mark this week. I screw up. A lot. But failure doesn't get me down as much anymore! I know my victory is in Christ, and that if I confess my sins, He'll forgive me.
For so long I've felt the guilt from the enemy. "Why would He want to forgive you again, when you know better?"
Screw you devil!
It's been amazing for me to come back into that key realization that Jesus DOES want to forgive me, and WILL just as long as I ask and mean it. So childish, right? That's stuff we learned in Sunday School... but I guess I needed the reminder.
I don't walk with my head hung low anymore. If I fall down one of those slippery chutes, I don't stay down. I begin the climb immediately. Because I CAN.
Thank You Jesus!
Comment back... share something.
