Day 11 of Beauty
Beauty in forgiveness.
Many of us are walking around with the weight of shame, regrets and guilt. We are succumbing to the lies that we need to walk around with this because of what has been done to us or things we ourselves have done. What good does that do anyone? We can live in the freedom of forgiveness and grace that Jesus paid for us. Don't waist that gift. Don't deny that gift. If Jesus was literally sitting next to you, would you respond differently? He gave his life so you could live without condemnation so why are you listening to the lies that says we need to be bigger than God and punish ourselves?
Just like it is a beautiful gesture, position, action to forgive others; it is just that when you are able to forgive yourself. You are so much lighter, free-er, and in a better position to love others when you walk in the forgiveness that was given to you, and you cannot earn it.
Walk in the beauty that you were given. Walk in the purity that was paid for you. The more you recognize and align with that, the more you're perspective will change.
Challenge: In what areas are you still not forgiving yourself? Start each day being thankful for your forgiveness, freedom and purity.
Prayer: Lord help me become a better receiver of your gifts, help me see how these gifts are mine to have. Let me be thankful and kind to not only others but to myself as well.
