repent.

   Many of my girlies may think I am crazy for doing this, buttt I took a whole 3 months off social media. Yep, 3 months. 

   I was working to heal a bad relationship while growing in the greatest one; my relationship with the Lord.

  These 3 months were actually great! It helped me a lot in the season I was in, but once I re-installed all of the apps, it was so difficult to not sit and scroll.

  I found myself endlessly scrolling and falling back into the worldly things of this life. We always sin, but it felt as if my sin had been growing. I wasn’t seeking the Lord as much and it was like I went back to square one. 

 The point I am trying to get at in this is repentance. Everytime I sat endlessly scrolling and catching up on everyone else’s news, I felt so horrible afterwards. My bible was sitting right in front of me, and I had completely ignored it. 

  I opened the app, and pretty much didn't leave it for a while. It was so unhealthy, and began to put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. I couldn’t forgive myself, and even when I did, I went back and did it all again. 

  It was hard to accept the truth that Jesus forgives us. How could the King of Kings forgive me, but not even myself?

  We all sin. Everyday, whether we realize it or not. It is how we choose to react to the sin that matters. We could totally ignore it, act like it didnt happen, and walk off. OR, we could repent, acknowledge it to the Lord, and ask Him for forgiveness.  

 2 Chronicles 7:14 pretty much tells us straight up to repent, to humble ourselves before the Lord. 

 I don't know about you… but I’d follow the bible!

When we repent, we are forgiven, and the Lord loves when we can admit our sin to Him. 

 I try to make it a daily practice in my life to always repent, whether I realize it or not.

  Friend, I encourage you to sit in prayer right now. Coming to the Lord with a heart for repentance, for any and all sins that you have committed. No matter how big or small, He forgives you
