- When you miss a deadline, do you beat yourself up for it?
- If someone comes in the door and your entry is a mess, do you fret for days?
- If a deadline seems out of reach, do you give up instead of pressing on for one more try?
- You had a great opportunity and it flopped. Now you are scared to try again.
"Always Hopeful" by Toni Grote |
God has completely forgiven us through Jesus Christ. That means he does not remember our sins against us. He knows we have messed up (there's no God-amnesia, after all!) but he doesn't hold our past against our future.
Consider doing the same for yourself today. Learn from the past. Let it go. Then look to the future with hope and a sense of possibility.

Moravian Prayer: Forgiving Savior, as we journey through this season of Lent, our hearts are overwhelmed with awe and gratitude for the patience and love you show us. Bless us always thus, we pray. Amen.
