Thought for the Day II

"Some things in your life that are messed up were caused by your own foolish endeavors. You may think that because you did it knowingly, that God will hold it to your account for life. If that thought has crossed your mind, then you need to know - God said He has removed your sin from you as far as the East is from the West, that He has paid the price for your sin and made you whole, in Him.



Whether it was done to you or you did it to someone else or you did it to yourself, if it is the past and you didn’t go through it with God, it's time to let it go. God went through it with you. You can count on that. But did you consciously go through it with God? "What did you do with what God allowed to happen?" It really doesn’t matter. Whatever you have been through, (despite who caused it or whose fault it was), without you knowing it, it has developed into your testimony. Whatever you have been through - whether you did it alone or with the guidance and grace of God - good or bad, for Christ or against Him - it has become your testimony; your story, your revealing of How life is without God and your revealing of how life is with God."
