Psalms 32:5 NIV
[5] Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
We often feel like we cannot go to Jesus with our sins. We get it into our heads that what we have done is too great and we turn from Him in shame. Yet, Jesus is not surprised by our sins and He is waiting for us to come to Him and repent. For as long as you refuse to repent the sin lives on as a torment inside your mind. It may feel like what you have said, thought, felt, or done is beyond Jesus’s forgiveness, but it’s not. The demon possessed man was set free and forgiven in a moment, do not think that whatever you have done is the worst thing Jesus has ever seen, because it isn’t.

Take away:

When looking at your sins and feeling guilt and shame, remember that Jesus took every sin upon Himself when He was on the cross. Your sin is not unique, He’s seen it before and has forgiven it before. He will forgive you too.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
