God forgives you completely, but you have to forgive yourself too. Holding onto past mistakes keeps you trapped in a false identity the devil wants you to believe. Step into the new season God has prepared instead of staying defined by what you've already repented for.
You need to let go of the past because what happens is we repent, we return to devotions like prayer and the Word, but then we're still connecting our identity to those past mistakes. We're still identifying with that season of waywardness. And no matter what you do, it's like you keep your past ever on your mind. And maybe you feel like that's just your identity now, the one who fell away but is back. Or maybe you feel like, I'm back with God, I'm back on the right track, but I'm forever marked by that wrongdoing. The The devil is a liar. That's not who you are. You need to realize now that God's forgiveness applies to you too, that you can indeed enter into a new season of joy and restoration, that you can indeed step into what God has for your future.
