True lasting happiness and true lasting forgiveness comes only when we do what’s right..only when we make things right..and not only with Jesus but as well sometimes we have to make them right with people..for our conscience is something that shouldn’t ever be marred…are conscience should be always free and clear…we shouldn’t have guilt hanging onto us…we shouldn’t have shame somehow lurking in them secret places of our hearts…we shouldn’t have that devil ever holding one so to speak over on us…but guys if we are children of the Lord..and we love the Lord..then as well we have got to be free in our minds in our hearts and in our lives…we have got to be able to be at peace with all man..Romans 12:18..we shouldn’t have any obstacles from our present to our past lingering around us..for the bible says that if we ask for forgiveness then the Lord is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness…1 John 1:9..and as well the word of God says for us to confess our faults one to another, and pray one for another, that we may be healed. for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much…James 5:16…for even if you choose not to speak of things..or even if you choose to cover things up…either way them things are still relevant in your life…they haven’t gone anywhere…until we are honestly able to ask for forgiveness..and seek out justification for our wrongs that we’ve committed and done to others…then we honestly will never be free in our lives…how can we be?….see the heart is evil the word says above all and who can know it..Jeremiah 17:9..for out from out hearts our mouths speak..Luke 6:45..and if our hearts condemn us..then we aren’t free…and I tell ya sometimes it’s not easy letting someone know your sorry for the wrong that you’ve done to them…or them things that you had said about them…but when we really get serious in our walks with the Lord…we don’t care how we look because we just want freedom…we want to have a free and clear mind..and a free and a clear heart..we want to be able to stand before our Maker unashamed..and completely free…for we can cover up things with people and we can hide things very well…but guys, Jesus, He knows us..He knows our thoughts the bible says from afar off..Psalm 139:2…He knows the words in our mouth before we ever choose to speak them…Psalm 139:4…for the word of God says that the Lord already knows…so it’s not about us…but it’s about freedom…it’s about growing up…and choosing to really and truly live for God..not just merely saying we are Christians…but actually living it..breathing it..and walking in it…and having the fruit of it manifested in our lives…for many say lots of things..but their actions and their fruit speak differently…so I say be free…and always choose to be free…don’t walk around in guilt and don’t walk around with shame….for we all have sinned…and we all have fallen short from the glory of the Lord..Romans 3:23..and we all have and will make mistakes…but as well when we do things that’s not pleasing to the Lord we make them right…even if we have to be humbled…for the word says that if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land…2 Chronicles 7:14…for nowadays no one considers their sins…but they always consider others and their sins…but if we focus on others and their faults and their sins…how can we ever pay attention to our own…for we all need the Lord daily..I say it all the time…just working on me…is an all day process…so I choose to work on me…I choose to let go and to let God…so let none of us ever cover up anything in our lives…but let us be open and honest always…always making them wrongs right..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
