I'm forgiven and I'm a treasure!!!!

It's as if my mind has been a playground for the enemy lately. He has completely bombarded me with guilt, shame, regrets, hurts, and lies (he plays dirty like that). Taking me back to my past and reminding me of all the things I have done, the people I have hurt and those who have hurt me. I have been flat embarrassed about all the mistakes I have made. It sounds so elementary but it has been an all out struggle for me to overcome.

I'm not a perfect person. I fall short and that's why I need JESUS! And I'm okay with that :) I am an imperfect person in pursuit of a PERFECT GOD!

This evening when I was driving to dinner I heard the song Forgiven by Sanctus Real. It was a breakthrough for me. I completely lost sight of who I am in the ARMS OF CHRIST! I'm forgiven and I'm a treasure!
Here are the lyrics...

Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I am reminded of the wrong that I have said and done
And that devil just won’t let me forget

In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven

And my mistakes are running through my mind
And I relive my days in the middle of the night
And I struggle with my pain
And wrestle with my pride

Sometimes I feel alone and I cry
When I don’t fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘Cause ….

In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven
