What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart! Isaiah 5:18 What is holding you back from living in true freedom? Your past? Your shame? You don’t need to live like that.  God has wiped away any wrong doings of your past if you have truly asked for his forgiveness. God doesn’t want you live in sorrow, he wants you to live in joy.  If he didn’t want that, why He put in place a forgiveness idea at all?  1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If God did not forgive our sins, this scripture wouldn’t exist in the Bible.  I know it’s hard to forgive yourself but if the God of the universe forgives you who are you to not forgive yourself? God is up in heaven with a notepad writing down our sins so that when we ask for forgiveness he can remind himself of when he forgave you before, of course, he is all knowing so he doesn’t need a notepad, but he forgives and your slate is wiped clean. You know who does constantly remember your sins? Yep, you guessed it, satan. He is the ruler of destruction.  All he cares about is how can he destroy what God loves the most? Oh, yeah, let’s remind people of their sins. I can really destroy them now. That is what sin does. It eats away at your very core until there is barely anything left. God can restore you, especially when you are at the end of the rope. Don’t let the ropes control you. Let go of them. You don’t need them.
