In Christ
Ok y’all.
I messed up royally this week. Hurt someone I love when trying to help her. Did what I though was right without seeking God on the issue. Major mess-up!
So I was reviewing my list of IN CHRIST. I’ll be adding to it tomorrow. But for tonight, here it is.
If you’ve messed up like I seem to do almost daily, confess your sin or simply talk to God about your mistake.
He is faithful to forgive what needs to be forgiven. He can show us how to make amends for our major mess-ups.
(Sometimes making amends looks like saying, “I’m sorry. I messed up” then shutting up and staying quiet, even when others keep talking.)
Then know who you are. Who are you IN CHRIST? If you are a Jesus-follower, the following is true for you. Even if you don’t feel like it. Feelings lie to us.
In Christ…
