We’ve all made mistakes.
Some mistakes that have been publicly seen.
Some mistakes in private.
There isn’t one of us…
That’s perfect.
It’s a result of living in a fallen world.
We’re all flawed.
But here’s the truth:
Your mistakes don’t disqualify you.
They don’t cancel God’s plans for your life.
They don’t devalue you.
God knew every mistake you’d make.
He still loves you.
When you ask Him for forgiveness…
He’s faithful to forgive.
(1 John 1:9)
Your mistakes are erased.
That’s grace.
It’s not a license to sin.
It’s a safety net for when we stumble.
It’s a gift from God.
We’re free from feeling shame.
We’re free from regret.
We don’t have to carry the weight of wishing we’d made a different decision with something.
We can release it.
When we’ve asked for forgiveness…
We’ve received it.
No complicated process.
Just a sincere heart.
All thanks to pure blood.
All thanks to Christ.
If you’re carrying any thoughts of…
“I wish I hadn’t.”
It’s time to cover them with…
“I’m forgiven.”
What was…
Is washed away.
(1 John 1:9)
What’s ahead…
Is goodness for you.
(Jer. 29:11)
