Tues Devo: Perspective shift

Hello,

I think as followers of Jesus we have all been there – where you don’t want to seek His forgiveness AGAIN. We feel like we are wearing it out, like He is frustrated. We picture ourselves in our kids positions – with God frustrated like we are. (Thankfully, none of us – including myself – are God) But I want us to think of this differently and shift our perspective. Don’t worry about the frequency right now – keep the list of things to seek forgiveness on short. Even if now the frequency is high, it should raise your thankfulness-meter (made that term up…). Our thankfulness for His grace and mercy will help here. As we begin to focus there no His grace, our mind will begin to process our choices and actions through that lens. We see this in Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (NASB)

I hope this challenges all of us to quickly seek forgiveness, and focus on being thankful for His grace and mercy – letting that grace and mercy re-direct our choices.

Have a blessed day,
