You are Free...
What we've been learning, what we've been talking about in small groups hit home really hard this past week. I found myself repeatedly worrying about past mistakes, past unwise decisions, not knowing what to do with them or why I was thinking about them.
I'm beginning to realize that grace intersects in my life in this area. Because of grace, God allows me to 1) make mistakes, 2) learn from my mistakes, and 3) be forgiven of my mistakes.
This is not to say that grace allows up to do whatever we want without consequences, however, when we repent of our sins, God truly does forgive us and allow us to move on. He gives us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes, and lovingly guides us back to where we belong.
This true freedom is found in following God.
