Be free!

 1 Peter 2:24 “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepard and Overseer of your souls.”

When I first truly trusted that I was forgiven, and my sins were forgotten I felt beautiful.  I was no longer deadened by  the stain of my sin.  I became truly alive in my heart and soul.  I put head up and my shoulders back, because I was washed clean by the blood.  Then, I sinned again.  I was tempted to pick back up the shame and guilt.  Every time I sin, I am tempted to pick up the shame and the guilt of it.   Jesus suffered and died to free us from the bondage of our sins.  Unfortunately  we do still sin.   Fortunately we can shake it off and try try try again.   Don’t let yourself be defined by your sin!!   Shake it off,  try again and follow the Shepherd.  He is the Overseer of our souls. We are healed.   Even if we just sinned 1second ago. He paid for all sins; yesterday, today and tomorrow.  Today, live free!! Maybe you just messed up.  You are not a mess up.   You are His sheep and He has you.  James 4:7. “Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
