My Past

          Romans 6:4-7  4" Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin."
          My past is my weakness, knowing the evil I have done always beats me down. Every time a person tells me I did something great I tend to ingore what they said because I know myself and that I am not great. I tend to throw myself out in the cold and justify it by saying I deserve it. I will deny myself pleasures that I can have because of that way of thinking. I deserve nothing! I have told myself this so much that it has been ingrained in my mind. It is true that I do deserve nothing however, God is so gracious in His giving but, because of this mindset I push His blessings away.
         These passages draw me to tears, knowing forgiveness from God and that my past is forgiven is an amazing thing. My past should no longer hold me down and I should walk in the newness of life given to me by God Himself! I have died and He has given me a new body, that is not supsepible to sin. Not tha I will no longer sin but, that I now have a choice to make each day. Do I choose God or do I choose to sin?
         I do not plan on sinning ever again but, I am human. However, I will pray for God's guidance throughout my days.
          Praise God for His Forgiveness of my past and His blessings.

PS. I will be trying to post something new every Sunday, thank you for waiting.
