Faithful Writers

Forgiving yourself isn’t about minimizing your past—it’s about magnifying what Jesus did. God buried your guilt long ago; it’s time to stop digging it back up.

Repentance isn’t about beating yourself up or saying a quick “sorry” to God. It’s about laying your burdens at His feet, grieving sin, and letting His love transform your life.

Hurt can make you guarded, but God can make you gentle again. Discover how to let His Spirit soften your heart without losing your strength.

When Jesus cried ‘It is finished,’ He wasn’t giving up — He was declaring that sin’s debt was canceled, the law fulfilled, and death defeated. Those words still echo today: freedom is real, forgiveness is secure, and your acceptance before God is settled forever.

Then, in a moment of bitterness and anger, I just became weary of it all. I made a conscious choice and whispered the words “take captive my thoughts.”

This transformation in me probably makes no sense to some, is hard to fathom, and goes against our very human nature. I truly do understand that and the difficulty of reading what I am writing about.
