God says you are: Forgiven

If you’re shaking your head at this idea, hear me out.  Maybe you accepted the gift of eternal life and the forgiveness of sins in the past, but guilt and shame keep bringing them back up in your face.  That’s not God reminding you of your past shortcomings, that’s Satan.  For Psalm 103:12 tells us that, “As far as the east is from the west so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”  God has thrown your sins into the Lake of Forgiveness and placed a ” No Fishing” sign on the bank.  The past is the past and none of us can change a moment of what has happened…let it go, accept God’s forgiveness, and move forward.  Or maybe your saying to yourself that your sins are just too bad to be forgiven…too horrific for God to pardon.  The Lord doesn’t place sin in different categories, classes, or degrees of severity.  All of us have sinned, there is no one righteous, not even one. (Psalm 14:3)  And where sin increased, God’s grace increased all the more. (Romans 5:20)   All you need to do today is accept the gift of forgiveness God is offering you.
