Day Sixty Six. March 18, 2012. Sunday.

Church was awesome today (as always). I was reminded that God is a forgiving God and Jesus died on the cross for me, for my sins, and I am forever grateful. There are some things in the past that I wish never happened, some things I am not proud of. And it's good.. no .. its great to know that I am forgiven. That no matter what I do, God still loves me. I always try to live my life the way that is pleasing to God, and this past few years have been life changing for me. It's not always easy to do the right thing. It takes a LOT of work and conscious effort every minute of every single day. But the more you do it, the easier it becomes. 

Today at church, they had us write on this tag what hinders us from having the ultimate relationship with God. Then we were to drop it off in a red bin on our way out of church. The tag is our sins, our short comings, our guilt, our greatest regret. It doesn't matter how big or small it is. Everybody has something. The bin is God's forgiveness, Jesus dying on the cross for us. Doing this exercise reminded me assured me that God has forgiven me. That I am made new and all of the sin and regret and guilt that is in that tag is lifted up to Him. His love is unconditional. You don't need a tag to be reminded of how great God is. But when in doubt, try to do this exercise. It will make you feel so much better. I am forever grateful.
