But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 TPT

We all screw up, right? That juicy bit of gossip or a white lie that we don’t consider that it grieves the heart of God. We get a check in our spirit that we’re heading down the wrong path. That nudge serves as an opportunity to repent and turn our hearts back towards Love. He’s there with open arms, waiting to embrace us and tell us it’s all going to be okay. Our tent increases as we seek to serve Him with pure hearts and accept His forgiveness. Where do your thoughts go when you sin? Do you beat yourself up and get nervous that God will punish you for it? Or do you recognize that that’s not who you are and turn away? Can you accept God’s forgiveness? Is it easy to forgive yourself? Why or why not?
