A Thoughtful Truth for the Week
It’s Time to Give Up!
It is time to give up, to give up those hidden sins. Those sins you have been hanging on to. You know, the sins only you know about—like the secret sins King David wrote about and experienced. Let’s see—the sins you think you have hidden from others and even God. You do not want others to know about what you have done, and doubt God will ever forgive you for those ‘hidden sins’.
Most likely it is the sins you are most embarrassed by, sins that you have not confessed and are afraid God will never forgive you for. Those secret sins that have been following you and remind you how much you are a ‘failure’. It is those sins that only Jesus will remind you of as Jesus reminded Peter of when Jesus was dying on the cross and looked at Peter when he denied Jesus for the third time.
It is those kinds of sins that the Holy Spirit wants to wash away; remove them from your life and give you peace and joy every time you look into a mirror and remember what kind of person you are.
God wants you free! Free from Satan accusing you before the Father, free from the guilt of your own conscious, and free from the bondage your sin is keeping you in.
It is time to find ‘Great Mercy’ as King David did. Freedom to enjoy the ‘new mercies’ of God each day. It is time to leave your sin behind in the River Jordan or at the foot of the Cross where Jesus died, or at the empty tomb when you see that Jesus is no longer buried there. It is time to give up each and every sin! My sins no longer belong to me; Christ has taken them away and made them His.
“God let the Holy Spirt convict me of my sin, give me your righteousness, and give me your judgment that no longer judges me but judges Satan who has always had a hold on my life because of my sin. I give all my sin to Jesus. God forgive me for your Son’s sake.”

What would Jesus want me to do?
