All of us like to remember our achievements, those bright and shining moments when we outdid ourselves. Yet, for many of us, those highlights are tainted with the shame of past sins or the pain caused by some unspeakable tragedy. If the truth be told many of us are haunted by the thought that if others knew the whole truth about us they would know what a phony we are. If that’s you let Jesus help you make peace with your past.
“Overlook my youthful sins, O Lord! Look at me instead through eyes of mercy and forgiveness, through eyes of everlasting love and kindness.”
— Psalm 25:6-7 (TLB)
Lord Jesus, help me to make peace with my past by accepting Your love and forgiveness. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
