Youthful Transgressions Forgiven?

Youthful Transgressions Forgiven?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask God not to remember their youthful transgressions. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Youth transgressions can be haunting. Fear not.

God is the God of answered prayer. He takes away the sin of the world.

The psalmist’s plea in Psalm 25:7-11 is that God would pardon guilt:

“Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your name’s sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.”

Christ died and rose again to pay the price for sin. We serve a risen Lord. Live life victoriously.

Feeling Shame and Guilt?

Feeling Shame and Guilt?

Lord, I pray for wisdom for those struggling with feelings of shame and guilt. In Jesus’ name, amen.

China is often characterized as being an honor/shame society.

Being personally honorable and bringing honor to the family is vital.

However, whenever a person falters, the shame reflects not only on the person but also on the family.

An individual and a family can carry the burden of shameful acts for a lifetime, and this dishonor can even be passed down generationally.

Anyone with a burden of shame can trust the Apostle Paul when he writes in Ephesians 1:7-8 (ESV): “In [Christ] we have redemption thorough his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.”

Be wise! Know shame and guilt are defeated!

Trust in Christ.

Stop the guilt and shame once and for all!
