True Freedom: Fearlessness in the Face of the Past

Morning World! Freedom is accomplished when we acknowledge our past mistakes, face the ugly truth & tell our own story. Running from the embarrassment of yesterday only allows others to sound the trumpet of our defeat at their will. Be careful not to blame others. We are all drawn away from our place of purpose by our own shortcomings. Are you running from shame? Own it today and be free! Have a great day!

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2:2

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2:3

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:15-17

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. Luke 7:48

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Romans 4:7

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 1 John 2:12

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. John 8:8-9

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? John 8:10

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11
