When we succumb to temptation, we have a choice. We can deny our sin and pretend that we have not transgressed, or we can confess our sins and trust God’s unconditional love. Unfortunately, many of us know little or nothing of God’s unconditional love and as a result we are trapped in our sin. Fear of rejection imprisons us, and we distance ourselves from the very One who longs to forgive and restore us. Determine right now that you are not going to let shame control you. Instead respond to Him when He says:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”

— Jeremiah 31:3

Lord Jesus, let us experience Your unconditional love as a life changing reality. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
