"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:8-10).
Isn’t it great to be covered by God’s grace? We all make mistakes, right? We all fall short. We all drop the ball. The only perfect one is Christ, so, we can forgive ourselves when we mess up. Would you not agree? We can't be so hard on ourselves when we fall short. We can't be so hard on ourselves when we don't measure up, because it's going to happen. We're human. I’m saying that because I know how it is to have once lived in regret over mistakes and bad decisions. I wasted so many years not moving on in a certain area of my life, because I beat myself up about certain things. Don’t let that be you. Move on and move up. God knows we’re human and He’s already forgiven us for what we did, what we didn’t do, and for what we will do. Yes, He’s that forgiving and that merciful. That’s why He's the one and only true God. And He’s got you covered on all sides. Romans 6:14 says, “After all, you’re not living under that old tyranny any longer. You’re living in the freedom of God.” That means God is still blessing you, so let's move on, it's ok. We're covered by God’s grace, in Jesus name, amen.
