A Blessing to Forget Your Sin

I bless you today to forget about your sin
The way God has.

What?
The heart protests:

But I still sin!
Yes, indeed.
But I still sin greatly.
Yes, indeed.

Surely, I must think about my sin
A lot…
Dwell on it
Confess it
More and more
Until I don’t sin so much.

Not so, according to the word of the Lord:
You’re dead to sin
And alive to God
In Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:6)

No point staying attached to what has died.
No point rehearsing what is long gone.
No point looking at what has been buried.

May your thoughts today
Be on life—the Life
Who is Christ Jesus.

You belong to Him
Not to sin.
