Forgiveness is Grace at work. When Christ forgives us it has nothing to do about our deserving forgiveness. He forgives us because of God's Fatherly love for us and for the price His son paid for you and me. So forgiving ourselves is our way of honor God’s forgiveness of us. If you deserved forgiveness that it would not be forgiveness.

The focus of a Christian life must be on the new treasures that Christ is giving you and not on the failures and sins of the past. Paul reminds us to put those things behind us and to press towards the mark of the high calling of Jesus.

Only Satan wants you to dwell on the past. Christ died for you that you might have a future. The Bible reminds us Jesus wants us to be free and if you are in bondage to that past His grace is being wasted by you.

Forging yourself is opening the door to the abundant life Christ has set before you.

Learn to enjoy the joy!
