The Guidance of Forgiveness

Psalm 32:1-2
32:1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

*Many people are afraid to go to church, submit to God, or abide by His will because they feel they have messed up, are in too deep, or have to be perfect to walk in righteousness. However, God already covered our imperfections through His resurrection and wants to embrace you with open arms. What's even more astounding is His ability to know you will mistakenly mess up, which is why He sacrificed Himself in the first place...He was aware of what was taking place over 2,000 years ago and what will take place in the future. His grace and mercy is sufficient enough to forgive you, so stop doubting yourself. You can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13), so why are you hesitant to try a positive lifestyle? Even more so, why be afraid of complete change? Think about it: Having one foot in and one foot out only creates confusion. Living in your current state hasn't gotten you further; therefore, why not completely try something new? What's even more amazing is that God sees your heart...He sees what your true desire is, how much you want to let go, and how you are willing to do your best. He knows that deceit is not a willing trait of your heart. Therefore, step out on faith and face the possibilities of letting go and trying something new. Even more so, learn to trust yourself. You are capable of more then you think, so don't lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Explore in greater detail what is challenging u or making you afraid in order to replace fear with faith, and receive something/one u have always needed that has only been held back bc you were afraid of a challenge you are capable of handling.
