You know most of us have done things in our past, which we are ashamed of, and we live in between what we have been and what we want to be. However, because our hope is in Christ, we can let go of past guilt, and move on with determination to what God will help us become, then we can forget about the past, and move on to a life of faith and obedience, we need to look forward to a more fuller and more meaningful life because of our hope in Christ I cannot control what has happened 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, or 5 years ago. Now is the time to serve the Lord.

It is so easy for us to forget who were are and what we have been given in Christ Jesus. We should not be inundated with fear. We should remind ourselves of our spiritual position and our spiritual possession.

God is in control and has a plan, even in and over your fears. Don’t be afraid, don’t be angry with yourselves for what you have done because God can use it. God is in charge of all things at all times in all situations. God is never pacing the floors of heaven.

We were not given a spirit of timidity, but of power because of and in Christ Jesus. He has given us His Word, His Spirit, His endless promises, and His presence; now it is time to get busy about His mission.
