From Galatians 5:1: “For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
Burdened by life’s BIG problem
All of man living in sin
Selfishness fueling mistakes
Where should we turn to begin?
Come forward to accept Him
Forgiveness granted from God
Washing away timeless guilt
Can’t forgive self, living flawed
Struggle with self-forgiveness
Guilt’s shadow never pulls back
God’s grace-filled pardon waiting
Feeling unloved, sin attacks
Filling ourselves with sadness
Self-imposed standards now crash
Rely on works over faith
Sin making us feel like trash
Kneeling at Calvary’s cross
Jesus’ blood setting us free
No longer chained to darkness
Forgiving ourselves, guilt flees
From Psalm 51:10-12: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”
A good reminder! A guilt free life is such a gift. Thank you, Jesus. ❤️👍🏽

Self forgiveness is harder than forgiving others sometimes. However, we no longer live in guilt and shame, but in grace and mercy. Blessings and honor, Christine C Sponsler
