10/8/98 2 Chronicles 19:7
We each have friends that we care for a lot. When they disappoint us, we get our feelings hurt. Sometimes we judge them based on our hurt and not their actions. God is not like that.

Most of us have a past that causes us grief. We’ve made mistakes and maybe even done some things that we wished we hadn’t done but we did.

Ask Him to relieve you of that guilt and anguish. And He will. The Lord loves you.
