Following on from a somewhat personal post yesterday, I'd like to confess that I've got skeletons in my cupboard. We all do if we are being honest with ourselves. There is an old man who was crucified with Christ and his skeleton is still in my cupboard.
Sometimes the enemy likes to remind me of how full of skeletons my cupboard actually is.
Let's not deceive ourselves, there's something very powerful and effective about guilt. No wonder the devil uses it to get us down and practically cripple Christians.
I read this post this morning at a time when I was discouraged, confused and challenged and I'm so grateful for the encouragement in it and I really think its a good read for anyone that's dragged down by their past failures and shortcomings.
It's worth remembering that even though people don't forget, the one person who counts - Christ - chooses to forget. And there's more he looks at you for what you can be not what you are.
Thank you MsLuffa. I’m honored that you decided to reblog my post. I truly am. Like you, I pray that this post would encourage anyone who is struggling with a somewhat tainted past. One of God’s names is Jehovah Shammah, which means ‘The Lord is there’. When you think of the past, remember that ‘the Lord is there’. He is sprinklin the precious blood of His Son and cleansing away your sins. He is also in your present and your future. Isaiah 1:18 is an encouraging word for you. God bless you all. Thanks again MsLuffa
