Joyce Meyer's Daily Thought from 7/15

Just a nice reminder I think...God doesn't want us to agonize over our sins, acknowledge, admit, ask for forgiveness and move on.

So wonderful to be granted such grace.

Joyce Meyer's Daily Thought
For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.
—Romans 6:10-11

Meditating on all of our faults and failures weakens us, but meditating on God's grace and willingness to forgive strengthens us. Our relationship and fellowship is to be with God, not with our sins. How much do you fellowship with your sins, failures, mistakes, and weaknesses? Whatever time it is, it is wasted. When you sin, admit it, ask for forgiveness, and then continue your fellowship with God. The scripture above says we are alive to God, living in unbroken fellowship with Him. Don't let your sins come between you and the Lord. Even when you sin, God still wants to spend time with you, hear and answer your prayers, and help you with all of your needs. He wants you to run to Him, not away from Him!
