This we know from 2Cor1. Some of what we endure will be for the sake of others. They matter so much. We can only pass on to them the comfort they long for if we ourselves have been comforted by God. Let Him comfort you. Also receive His comfort through others. Your God IS good.

Nothing is weirder in this woeful world than a happy person. Happy testifies. Happy says at every opportunity, “You cannot believe what Jesus has done for me! Man, you’d be happy, too!” If you keep living in your past, your history will read like prophecy. Face forward FORGIVEN.

I empathize deeply with those who suffer chronic regret. It helped me to see my self-hatred as unbelief. Ps.32:1 CSB says “How happy is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!” Those who truly believe their sins are forgiven are happy.Let yourself be happy.

Accept your own story. Reject your past’s hold on your future but do yourself a favor: accept your past. Take it to the hill. Stand with it laid bare in the shadow of the cross. Believe God. Receive grace. Surrender self-hatred. Simply live as 1 to whom His grace was not in vain.
