Guilt

We all feel it. Too much.

Charles Spurgeon once said, “the Holier a man becomes, the more he mourns his unholiness “.   Personally, I have found that to be true.  The closer I grow to God, the sadder I am when I displease Him in any way.  It’s a good thing to ask our Lord for His forgiveness when we sin.  We need it.  But if we fail to forgive ourselves as well, it can be much harder to serve our Lord!

So today, let’s make that a priority, our prayer for the day.  Jesus forgave us.  Our Father forgave us.  Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help us forgive ourselves so that we might better serve our Lord.

Trusting God Takes Practice

Trusting God takes practice.  Sometimes we look around our lives and it seems as if there is nothing but trouble.  But that is when we need to pray and trust God the most.  Without “troubles”, trust can not grow.  So if we are facing tough times, lets remember that God uses those times to allow us to  practice trusting Him 🙂

And God always uses our “troubles” to our good and God always keeps His promises!   🙂
