God is SO amazing!! He just blows my mind, sometimes! He does provide our strength, our courage, our very breath!!
A common problem that I have seen in not only myself, but in others is that once a sin is forgiven and overcome, you dont need to repent and ask for forgiveness over and over again.
Take for example, adultery. (I am talking about myself here, not pointing fingers at anyone.) Lets say, someone in the past, has committed adultery. They have since stopped, turned completely around, and is absolutely faithful to thier spouse. They have asked forgiveness, been forgiven, all that.
Then, it comes back to their mind "You are an adulterer. You did this and this and that." Used to, I would cry and ask for forgiveness all over again. And again, and again, and again.
But I have since got it into my head as well as my heart that it is taken care of. It no longer needs to even be brought up, unless its to witness to someone the cleansing power of Jesus! But if it comes up again, just say "yep, that WAS me, but its forgiven and under the blood!" AMEN!
