I'll be honest. I was so ashamed of the mistakes I made that it took months for me to accept God's forgiveness. I kept carrying around the guilt and shame. Day after day I kept asking God to forgive me, but the thing is, he already had.
Through Celebrate Recovery I realized that God was faithful, even when I wasn't (2 Timothy 2:13). No mater what mistakes I've made, His grace is abundant. I am no longer held captive by the guilt. By the blood of Jesus, I have been declared not guilty, and this not guilty verdict is for all of the sins, even the ones committed after salvation. I've been fully acquitted and have a spotless record in the eyes of my savior.
- Principle 3: Consciously choose to commit all of my life & will to Christ’s care and control. "Happy are the meek." (Matthew 5:5)
- Step 3: I made a decision to turn my life and my will (that's the challenging part for me) over to the care of God. "Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy & pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1
