Day 9

Romans 8:1 ~ “There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus.” (GNT)

Have you ever sinned, confessed that sin to God, only to allow the guilt of what you did condemn you? It seems you just keep replaying it over and over in your head, and each time you feel worse. When I was in my teens I made a LOT of mistakes, lots of bad choices. One of the choices I made was to terminate a pregnancy. Although I prayed and asked God to forgive me (several times!) every time I thought about it I felt guilty, as if I needed to ask for forgiveness again. I’m sure God thought I was crazy because He had already forgiven me and moved on, I was the one who kept bringing it up! Today’s verse is a reminder that there is NO condemnation for those who live in union with Christ. He loves us and offers His forgiveness freely; it’s not ours to take back. Whatever it is you may be holding on to, I encourage you to let it go……God has!
