I was beating myself up for making such a foolish decision the other day. I thought to myself, Heather when will you ever just do things right. So mad with myself, I went to God, saying sorry & asking forgiveness. He reminded me that there's nothing that I could do or ever would do to make Him love me less and nothing that I can do that will make Him love me more.
I realised how much I'm loved by God and that all I can do is just accept and receive that love. The mistake that most of us make is that when we mess up, we think that God is so mad with us that He won't bless us anymore or even use us anymore. That kind of thinking binds/stops us from speaking about God or encouraging people to pray and trust God. We think to ourselves, how can I be a witness when I'm so weak myself. We cannot earn forgiveness, it is our gift when Jesus went to the cross and took all our sins.
Jesus knew that we are still going to sin and fall but He also knew that His love for us will give us the courage to overcome all our weaknesses and sins. We are not perfect yet but each day we are being perfected.
For if your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart and knows all things. (1 John 3:20)
There's a song that expresses God's love so beautifully, it says:
Your love never fails, never gives up & never runs out on me!
Father, thank You for your love & grace that sustains us & keeps us close to You. You carry us when we feel we can't carry on. You remind us that You are God & in control of everything & our lives are in Your loving hands.
Jude 1:24-25 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into His glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to Him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are His before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.
God bless you
Love, Heather
