Romans 5:15 (NKJV) 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
We have all made mistakes. Probably more than we care to admit.
Some of those mistakes had far-reaching consequences. We might even still be dealing with the aftermath of some of those mistakes today. Sometimes this can last for months, or maybe even years.
And those mistakes can sometimes keep us in guilt, shame or regret for a very long time. But only if we hold onto them and allow them to hold onto us.
In life there is no rewind. We can’t go back and erase a single bad choice or mistake. But we can let God show us how to take care of the guilt, shame and regret and move on with our lives.
You see, God’s grace is available to us, to allow us to wipe our slate clean and move forward. His grace is free. We can’t buy it and we can’t earn it. That’s what makes it so incredibly awesome.
His grace, if we choose to accept it, leaves us blameless, spotless and 100% clean in His eyes. We just have to make the choice to accept His grace, leave our sins, our bad choices, our mistakes, our shame, our guilt and our regrets at His feet and move forward, with His grace and mercy leading us.
It may not always be easy to do, but He will guide us and help us through it if we will let Him.
