Let’s end on this one. How many times as mothers do we act out of our flesh and then feel guilty and condemned. Like we know we belong to the Lord but the enemy makes us feel so much shame when we mess up.
Mama, please know that no matter what happened today, you yelled at your kids, lost your temper, said something you shouldn’t have, whatever it is, you are forgiven. Forgiveness and repentance work hand in hand but as a child of God we are forgiven. Jesus died for us. That we aren’t earning our way to heaven by what we do, but by what we do brings glory to God.
When you mess up, always make it right. Your children, family, friends, etc. need to see the Jesus in you. Show them what it means to forgive and what it means to ask for forgiveness. Don’t walk in condemnation with your head down. That’s what the enemy wants!
Memorize this one. When guilt and shame come bubbling up, remember, there is NO condemnation for those in Christ. NONE.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
