Liberated from My Mistakes
Mistakes are the meanest form of self-definition.
The sum total of your mistakes is not you.
God never calls us a mistake. He never refers to sin that we have already confessed. He calls us NEW creations in Christ Jesus. The old has passed away. That means it's DEAD! Let that really sink in. The past is not alive, it's dead. Now LIVE IN CHRIST. ~ Sharon Colman
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
It is satan who comes day and night to condemn and to accuse. He steals our very life away.
'Conviction is about activity, condemnation is about identity'. ~ anon
Enjoy this liberation:
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. (Romans 8:33)
You need not accept the evil one's persistent soul destroying bleating. When you are being torn down it is not the work of the Lord.
Rejoice today (and everyday) in this divine truth:
the Lord no longer holds anything against you, therefore neither need you. It is His opinion alone that matters.
