Brownies are not for Breakfast

Yes, the title leads to confession...I did eat a cream cheese brownie for breakfast, but hey it was so yummy!  However, brownies are not for breakfast...I am not feeling that great right now.
Just like brownies are not for breakfast, condemnation is not for Christians.  As a child of God we are called to rise above and not stay down. Notice I did not say, we are not to fall down...we all will fall.  Falling is part of life, condemnation is not.  When we make mistakes, we ask forgiveness, accept it, then move on.  We don't live each day with the guilt of our mistakes, with the pain of our past, or with the worries that we try to carry all on our own.  We cannot rise above with all that weight on our shoulders.
So...let it go!  Give it all to a God who loves you so much that if you allow your heart to be filled with all His love, there will be no room for all the negative things the devil tries to trap you with in order to keep you down. Like one of my new favorite songs by Jared Anderson says, "Heaven meets Earth like a sloppy wet kiss, my heart turns violently inside of my chest, and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about, the way that He loves us, Oh, how He loves us." (This video is on my Music on My Mind page)
Live with His peace that passes all understanding, in order to do that you have to make room for it in your life.  You have to clear out all the clutter, things like: guilt, doubt, worry, anxiety, stress, fear, insecurity, and of course the sins that we sometimes hold tight to.  With the strength of Christ, you can let go of those things and move on to better things, so many great things He promises for His children.  Read His word and seek those promises, and then speak them into your life today!  When you clean out the mess, replace it with His abundant mercy, grace, love, joy, and peace because it IS FOR YOU!  His arms are open...run to them- you will not find condemnation..YOU WILL FIND COMFORT!
