I wrote this for someone else today, but it's a good to remember every day how much we are loved by God, that the slate is wiped clean, and he is drawing us into a more abundant, joyful life in him!
First and foremost is that you belong to God, and he delights in you! He chose you, and you responded to his Spirit (at least once, and maybe more times). No one can take that from you--no one. Don't let the devil or insecurity tell you otherwise--those are thoughts to fight against with reading scripture and prayer...but I think you know this.
Next, When you gave your life to Christ, he forgave you. He "separated your sins from you as far as the east is from the west." The devil will try to make you feel guilty, tell you you'll never be good enough, and make you feel like God can never accept you because of your past: These are all lies! God knows exactly who you are, and he knows exactly what has happened in your life even if you can't remember it....he knows you so much better than you know yourself--and he loves you because you are his child. He will always love you to the fullest--no matter what the past, the present, or the future bring....you can't even hide from God's love for you if you want to!
Be bold before God today, you are his child and he loves you.
