I made a mistake the other day. I sent out a devotion with the wrong word. Now in some instances that might not mean anything, but this time it surely did!
This is what I wrote: “I make a good cup of coffee, snuggle in my guilt, read my Bible and pray or write as the sun comes up.”
When I posted it on Facebook, thankfully, someone pointed out that I meant “Quilt” not “Guilt.” I quickly edited my post. Then I laughed at my mistake.
It wasn’t too long before I realized that there have been times when I woke up in the morning and really did “snuggle in my guilt” and my shame. But now, BUT GOD, I no longer do that. I might wake up feeling guilty about something I said or did or thought but I don’t “snuggle” in it anymore.
I have the promises that if I relinquish all my sin, my guilt, my shame to my Savior and LORD, He will carry it far from me and never again hold it against me. Amen & Amen
Romans 8:1: So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. [NLT]
1John 1:9: But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. [NLT]
Romans 10: 11: As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” [NIV]
Thank you LORD Jesus!
