Dear Jesus, Although we spend a lot of time shaming ourselves for sinful choices we have made in our past, that is not Your will for us. When You died on the cross for our sins, our guilt was erased, and the shame was washed away with Your blood. We do not have to continue feeling guilt for what we have done or beat ourselves up for feeling worthless. When we continue to do that, we are giving into Satan’s desire to steal from us, kill us, and destroy us. We need to rejoice and be glad because we have been given the gift of being completely cleared of guilt. Instead of wanting to sin more, we can experience more grace and change our entire life so that our hearts sing for you, full of praise and gratitude and new actions will spring from a clean heart. Thank You that we can be honest with others about our own tendencies because You modeled honesty and truth when You walked this earth. We do not have to be afraid of being exposed because You were without sin and You took our punishment upon Yourself and set us free. Thank You Precious Lord Jesus, for loving us so much that You laid down Your unblemished life for us. Amen
