There are so many who have made decisions that later on in their lives they feel as though they just don't deserve to be happy and have a full life merely based on the fact that they've messed up in their lives, they don't realize that they deserve happiness if they have truly changed and are proceeding to correct their bad habits because they are serious about changing for the better, they don't understand grace and how their sins have been pardoned because of it! Sometimes we just need a reminder that Jesus' grace has forgiven us and he's given us a new beginning if we'll only accept it but the thing is that we need to stop pouting around and blaming ourselves constantly for our mistakes because God has already forgotten about those mistakes as soon as we confess them and ask for forgiveness! Stop treating each day as if you have sinned and you aren't worthy of any blessings from God..instead get up and thank God that you've been forgiven of those sins and be greatful for the blessings that are on the way!
Romans 3:23-26
" 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
Because of grace we can not only be forgiven of our sins but we can also become blessed with all of these wonderful things because of his grace! Thank God for that!
