Looking forward in a positive light



Unfortunately, some of us live with guilt for years and years.


But fortunately, God has made a way for us to be delivered of that heavy burden.


First John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."If our burden of guilt is caused because our sin or mistake direly hurt someone else, how can we possibly be delivered from the oppressing memory of that?


Well, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).


When we live in the past or allow it to trouble us for any reason, it can can rob us of God's peace and joy keeping us from being a channel of His light to the world. Let our song be as the psalmist's: "This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
