Daily Devotion for August 2, 2016

As hurt as you may feel, don’t beat yourself up over your past mistakes & bad choices. Sure, you may see the consequences everyday, but beating yourself up will not ease the pain or remove the past. Some people punish themselves by measuring the level of their guilt, hurt or regrets & throwing it upon themselves. You can’t do that anymore! Know that the devil wants you to dwell on your mistakes, torture yourself to prevent you from receiving the forgiveness Jesus is offering you. No matter how deep the mistake was or how long it’s been, Jesus will give you the strength to forgive yourself & overcome it, if you will give ALL of it to Him. You can still have a beautiful testimony from an ugly mistake!
