Let It Go

via Designlovefest

I was laughing while I wrote this - a day in my life usually involves one or more family members singing Let it Go. (From Disney's Frozen.) I happen to live with a Frozen superfan, so I can safely say that I have heard this song more times than I can count. (And maybe I've sung it a few times....whoops!)

I'm talking about a different kind of letting go here - letting go of guilt, regret, and worry.

We have all, every single one of us crazy humans, sinned. (Romans 3:23) You can choose to do one of two things: live with guilt from your past actions, or accept the forgiveness and cleansing that Jesus Christ is offering you.

Let me tell you - when God looks at you He doesn't see your sin! He isn't condemning you. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. If you are a Christian you are made righteous.

Let go of the regret. Let go of all of those horrible feelings. There is room at the cross for me, and for you.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

You are forgiven. Absolutely, totally, 100% forgiven. 

God is extending His love to you today.

Happy weekend!
