It is easy to silently beat ourselves up over something we did or did not do. Behind this is perfectionism and self-righteousness. The belief that we should have acted perfectly in the past needs to be released. Know that you are a person that needs grace like everyone else. Christ has given you grace. Stop withholding it from yourself as if you are special and don’t need it. Receive it and be thankful.
“And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood.” Revelation 1:5 (NASB)
