Colossians 2:11-15 NKJV

Colossians 2:11-15 NKJV

[11] In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, [12] buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. [13] And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, [14] having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. [15] Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Gratitude is such a powerful, yet simple mindset that carefully examines and appreciates all outcomes. I have been blessed beyond measure with so many wonderful things. My faith, my family, my sobriety, and most importantly, my Savior.

I no longer suffer from the guilt of my sins. I was given freedom over it all by a Sovereign God who saw fit to spare my life, free me from addictions, and allow me to celebrate a wonderful Father's Day with my family. God is so good.
