How Do I See Myself?

Guilt and shame can feel like a chain of rubbish dragged through life. In Psalm 18, David cries from deep waters, and God brings him into open space because He delights in him. This delight does not promise an easy life, but it changes how forgiven people see themselves and strengthens them to follow God's ways. Jesus completes the rescue by freeing sinners from sin and eternal death, so their worth rests not in a spotless past but in God's forgiving love. Bible Reference: Psalm 18:1–19 Preacher: KJ Tromp
