today

Thank you, Jesus. Today, you took my shame and my sin and put them to death. Permanently. They no longer have control over me. They don't have the power to tell me, "beat yourself up for making a mistake" or "you can't talk to that person because they have it all together and you'll look like a fool." 

In its place was infused grace and love and truth. The truth says, "you are loved no matter what you do. Nothing can separate you from my love", "my love changes you into something beautiful," "come as you are, be at rest." 

Let your hearts take a deep breath at some point today. Remember our Lord who loves you so much.
