"God's Decree - "they'll look high and low for a sign of Israel's guilt - nothing; Search nook and cranny for a trace of Judah's sin - nothing." (50:20)
I love this promise. This promise for me. For you. Because from the moment when we are "in" Christ. When we have repented. Turned around and are continually striving to give our hearts, our minds, our actions, our words to Him. Sins - all of them - past, present, future - are forgiven. Covered in His Grace and Mercy.
satan wants nothing more than for us to believe otherwise. he, or others, even ourselves, continually throw up into our face the sins we have committed. It's our choice in what to do with these attacks. We can pick up the sins and envelop ourselves within the world of doubt, the darkness, ugliness, unwanted.
Or.
Or.
We can stand in and on His Promise.
Instead of wallowing in shame and regret, we can look at our past sins as a milestone. A milestone of where our ABBA has brought us from. A milestone He has used for His Glory. A milestone of when He came in and shone His Light, removing all our guilt through The Blood of our Savior.
"The" milestone where He was showing just how much He loves us.
