Few people, including myself for far too long, fail to realize that no one purposely sets out to screw their life up (perceptively). Judgement abounds when our brothers and sisters make a misstep.

I think the world would be better off to simply remind hurting people that may have made bad choices, that Jesus said “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.” Rather than scold with a gazillion shall nots.

Their guilt and shame that comes from blame doesn’t remedy the past or help them avoid future missteps. On the contrary, guilt, blame and judgement perpetuate the missteps.

I’m glad in Christ that I don’t have a past. I only have this present and a hope in the future of gain.

To live is Christ and to die is gain.

If you’re hurting and feel you have made mistakes in the past, I’m your brother and friend in spirit. I’ve made those same mistakes. The devil accuses me night and day and he uses people and comparison to accuse me. He usually uses church people to do it too.

People may remind you daily of your past but the Holy Spirit will not and asks that you live one day at a time and in grace. Free indeed.

I believe that.

Many people see things much different when it hits their home, their kids, or their grandkids. I’ve seen many hard, stern religious people change their tune when it’s their own child who has made mistakes or fall victim to the cold tempting world we live in and rightly so. What matters to me, even in the last moments of life, no matter how one has lived, is that one finds grace by faith in Jesus.

My purpose for this testimony is only to remind the reader that Jesus said….

Father forgive them, they know not what they do.

Or

We would have done better.

Let’s do better now.

I am loving awareness. I love everyone and everything I am aware of and that includes myself.

At least that’s the goal I established in my heart on August 21, 2021.

I’m gonna just keep Faithn it until I make it.
