Past Sins–Past

Sometimes when I go to bed at night, there in the dark my past (and not so past) sins flash through my mind. I’m overwhelmed with a sense of shame. Then I remember, these reminders of past sins do not come from God. God is not of the dark, he is perfect light and love. Past sins are just that—past! Our Father has washed us clean, wiped away our sins through the sacrifice of his Son. He doesn’t dig around in the murk of past sins to shame us. May we never forget, no matter what, God is not disappointed in us. We are his beloved children!
