No reason to hide

The biggest thing that stuck out to me when I was going through this week's devotional is a message that I constantly find myself re-learning and re-discovering: Jesus conquers all!

Sin is powerful, there's no doubting that. The feelings that come along with sin such as guilt, shame and hopelessness are (without Jesus,) powerful enough to keep us in a vicious cycle of discouragement and make it seem like there is nothing we can do. But there is! Jesus has taken our sins away, allowing us to be free from the punishments of sin. Just because you have sinned in the past doesn't mean you are destined to live a life trapped by those sins. There is no reason we should hide from or fear our past, present or future sins; we should instead turn and fix our gaze on Jesus for deliverance and know a life living in and with Him is the greatest life there can be because He conquers all!
