I am being plagued by my past transgressions.







Proverbs 28: 13
“He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But he who confesses and forsakes them
Will find compassion.”

As a Christian I have to say that I have sinned badly and it plagues my mind day and night, to such an extent that I feel miserable and really bad about who I am.  The truth is I have confessed my sins, to the person involved as well as confession to the LORD.

The devil is sly and will come around on days when my mood is really low, my self-esteem is nonexistent.  I will get these kinds of messages “Ah, please Yvette, you can’t whitewash your sins and think you are able to get away with it.”

I have been a Christian for many years and I believe that I definitely didn’t arrive and that I am still on my life’s journey.

I have honestly and earnestly confessed my sins; I have spoken to the people concerned and was told to carry on with my life.

I know that when I confess my sins, God is faithful and He forgives me time and time again.  I have come to a place in my life were I need to trust in Jesus and allow Him to transform my thought patterns and help me in doing what is right.  Oh my goodness I fail on a regular basis and I believe that Jesus Christ is faithful He forgive me and lifts me up again.

I want to remind you that Jesus is the key to solving your past sins and mistakes.  You only need to confess and believe and trust in Him.

Prayer

O Lord, the truth is that I always worry about my past mistakes and the decisions I took.  You have been there every step of the way, warning me and I chose to sin anyway.  I humble myself and I say thank You Lord for the forgiveness of past sins.  Thank You that I can come and ask You to help me keep on the straight and narrow.  I am grateful that I am able to still sit at Your feet and confess the sins I feel is clouding my spirit and keeping me away from You.  I trust and believe that You have a better plan in place and the design of my life is in the palm of Your hands. I praise and worship You for hearing my humble prayers.  I pray for friends and family going through the same things, I pray for wisdom and insight to deal with difficult circumstances.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
