This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Sometimes our hearts don’t match up with our actions. We want to do what is right because we have Jesus in our hearts, but we are human and we fail. We aren’t supposed to let that discourage us. Yes, we make mistakes and that is bad, but God sees our hearts. He sees that we want to do right, and as long as we are willing to change and do what is right, all is okay. God forgives us from things we did in the past, so there is no use dwelling on it. We move on and move forward.
I’m hard on myself a lot. I’ve recently been changing that, however. I’ve realized that I waste so much time dwelling on what I’ve done (and even blaming myself for that which is not my fault) that I’m not living up to my full potential through God. God wants me to do things, but I have held myself back because I have felt that I am not worthy of doing those things. It’s a slow process, but I’m learning to put the past in the past where it belongs.
