Numbers 3 & 4; Acts 25; Jeremiah 33

Forgiveness

Shame

Repentance

3 words I am ‘wrestling’ with right now. How to forgive and not tell the offending party I am forgiving them. Sounds weird and righteous and ….to me right now.

To in forgiving experience a freedom that I have not found in being bound up in being offended…..

Shame that I feel all the above..shame that I get stuck in ‘feelings’….

Repentance IF I don’t, push through SHAME to that real repentance… will I ever change?? And there comes SHAME again that I keep coming back to the same things over and over and over….

Jeremiah 33: ¹ While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: ² "This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: ³ 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

So even trapped and confined as I feel….. in true repentance, asking…YOU are there..Thank You Jesus….
