One of my favorite people that I looked at was Peter. I so identify with Peter and think about his life, his following Jesus that's recorded.

All of his big mess-ups happened after he had already decided to and followed Jesus.

Interesting. And I think that that's the whole thing. It's so easy just like you said you might not say I am

struggling with shame. You might just feel awful and

now why? Right you're kind of like I'm not enslaved. Why do I feel like this? Where's my

joy and peace that I'm supposed to have because I walk with Jesus and I think it's just

because we take our eyes off of the Lord and we again even if we've been redeemed we can so easily have our mindset on our own performance and if we do that we are going to be with

us to help us move beyond shame to the joy-inducing peace-producing joy that comes from a relationship with Jesus.
