Truly forgiven
“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”Psalm 103:12
Reflection
East and west never meet. That's the size of the distance between you and your sin, after God forgives. The problem is that many Christians live picking up off the floor what God has already thrown into the abyss. If He forgot, why are you still carrying it? Today may be the day to leave the past behind once and for all.
Prayer
Father, forgive me for what I'm still carrying without needing to. Free me from the guilt You have already erased. Amen.
Put it into practice
Write a guilt you still carry on paper, then tear it up as a symbol of the forgiveness you already received.
To reflect on
What past mistake are you still picking up off the ground, even though God has already forgiven it?
