I am forgiven!


1 John 3: 21 – 22
“Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask,
because we keep his commands
and do what pleases him.”

What a revelation, I allowed Satan to remind me of my past and I allowed him to keep at it for weeks at a time. This year I decided that I wasn’t going to stand for this anymore, in fact, last year I took a decision to shrug off my past and look to the future.

This morning was one of those mornings, I was reminded of something and before I actually thought about it I shrugged it off. I decided not to allow these bad thoughts to plague my mind.

I decided not to focus on my past but to stretch myself to be more this year, yes, I made mistakes and it cost me dearly but I am working towards my future. God reminded me that He has a plan in place for my life, a future and a hope. Why would I keep on allowing my past mistakes to follow me around and bring me down now?

Never again will I do what I did, I put this behind me, I am forgiven I am the child of God, He loves me and bought me with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Abba Father thank You, for allowing me to come into Your presence each and every day, any time of the day. I believe that I am forgiven and that I am bought with the precious blood of Your son Jesus Christ. I want to pray asking for wisdom and insight and I want to pray for supernatural favour in my own life today, I want to keep Your commands and I want to do what pleases You, in the Holy Name of the Lord 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...
