I read the following this afternoon by AW Tozer, “You have been forgiven, so act like it!” It’s very powerful and can be taken a couple of ways.
Scenario one is that you don’t have to walk the same way you’ve always lived. You’ve been forgiven and changed by Jesus. You have a new mind and a new nature, so choose to walk with Jesus in victory today. Scenario two is that if you fall, you’ve been forgiven. So get up! This means both spiritually and emotionally.
I’ve had a pretty hectic few days where the enemy has been pushing back super hard to the advances the Lord has been making in my life. I wish I could say that I’ve stood my ground in every battle. I haven’t.
For some reason, though I know about and believe in God’s grace and mercy, I still have a hard time accepting His hand up again and get back to walking with Him emotionally. It usually takes a while to get over the very real feeling of being separated from Him. I need to get over it. I’ve been forgiven, so act like it. Re-attach spiritually as well as emotionally.
You’ve been forgiven, so act like it. Keep walking in victory. If fallen, get up completely. I thought you might need to hear what I did.
