But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed,
and keep all My statues, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they
shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he
shall live. Ezekiel 18:21-22
Fortunately for me, God is forgetful and doesn't bring up
all my previous sins. Now, it’s not because of my righteousness, because I am a
very sinful human being, but through Jesus sacrificing His life for me.
Every time I overeat, does God rub it in my face reminding
me of how many times He’s shown me that I need to turn to Him to comfort my
aching soul instead of turning to food? No, He is patient and forgives me over
and over again, but do I do that?
I find that I have a tendency to bring up all my
shortcomings and beat myself up with them. The thought of one shortcoming leads to
another and another. I’m not sure why I’m doing this when God has already
forgiven me for these.
This last year has been spent on trying to focus on truly
forgiving others regardless. This year, my focus needs to be on being more
forgiving of my shortcomings. But if the wicked will turn from all his
sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statues, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions
that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his
righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Ezekiel 18:21-22
Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
