I was forwarded a devotion this morning and I thought to myself, how befitting to anyone who is trying to better themselves?!?! We have all done something and then looked back and said, "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING?" But, how many of those setbacks are we continuing to allow to Set Us Back? Forgive yourself for the wrong you've done so that you can get on with living.
When you repent to God from a sincere heart and understand that He has forgiven you, then it's time for you to let it go as well. No - we won't forget what we've done, but we are forgiven. Don't allow others to hold it over your head either. If there is someone who reminds you of a time when you stumbled, then they should not be in your circle. Disassociate yourself from that person and be better.
Healing comes when you receive it and when you believe it. I strongly encourage you to read the devotion entitled “Then David Got Up” at the following link.
