Is it hard for you to appreciate your achievements? Are you haunted with the thought that if others knew the whole truth about you, they would know what a phony you are? Are your bright and shining moments tainted with the shame of past sins or the pain of some unspeakable tragedy? If that’s how you feel, it’s time to receive God’s forgiveness and make peace with your past.

“He does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our
transgressions from us.”

— Psalms103:10, 12

Lord Jesus, help us to forgive ourselves because You have forgiven us. Help us celebrate our achievements without shame. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
