I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions,
and, as a cloud, thy sins:
return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Isaiah 44:22
Don’t beat yourself up
It’s easy to do
If you fall, God is there with His giant, strong hands to lift you back up,
to set you on the path and point you in the right direction
Receive His correction
Know that He corrects those He loves,
the good Father that He is
And has the best way for you to be successful
as you carry your cross in this wretched world
Do not hide anything from Him
That which is done in secret will be shouted upon the rooftops
Bring your ugliness before Him and repent the best you can,
repeatedly, if necessary
He already knows
His grace is sufficient
It is an act of humility
Remembering what He has done for you on the cross
He has the answer
He has the way
You are human and He is God
Repent, Receive and Rejoice!

But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God,
that raised him up from the dead,
and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
