Forgive and Forget - 3

Published: Nov. 18, 2020, 8 a.m.

Rudyard Kipling said it well: “Nothing is ever settled until it is settled right.” We can point our finger and make up excuses, we can invent arguments and do anything else we want, but the key to the skeleton jingles in our pocket until we settle matters right. How long have you kept a skeleton hidden in your closet? Oh, you desperately keep that skeleton locked up in some hidden place within your soul. You hope no one ever probes there. You hope no one ever finds a key and says, “Ah! There it is!” I beg you to take that skeleton out. Confess your sin to God and to whomever you have offended. Don’t tell unnecessary people. Our confession should only be as wide as the scope of our transgression. Then experience God’s forgiveness. Certain things may never be quite the same, but you can joyfully start walking with God again. With total freedom and complete joy you will be able to look every man and woman in the eye. Why? Because you’re clean. Forgiven. At peace with God and others. What a happy way of life! Start experiencing it today. This is Luis Palau.
