When you catalogue your sins. When remember terrible times. When you recall every heartbreak. When you play someone hurting you on a loop, over and over and over again. When you give attention to an ache or pain. You are practicing meditation. You are meditating on terrible, useless, depressing, hurtful, angry, and mind destroying memories and thoughts. No one has ever once changed a single yesterday. Not only are you living in the past but you are encouraging the absence of joy in every one of your tomorrow's. The devil tortures. He waits for you to sin or remember a sin and he reminds you of it. He try’s to convince you it’s over. You are not forgiven. You are ruined, useless, stupid, fat, lazy, a failure, a mistake, an orphan, terrible, going to hell and no one loves you. The thing is, everything terrible awaits him. He. Is. A. Liar. I dare you to talk to God as much as you are agreeing with the devil. You can change your entire life if only you would change your mind. You are forgiven, loved, blessed and highly favored. A child of a king. God doesn’t pay you back. He doesn’t plot revenge. He doesn’t give to us what we deserve!!!!! He waits to save. To rescue. To teach. To change. To heal. To guide. To redeem! God loves you and so do I
