Consider the mistakes you've made in your life-- big ones, little ones, and those in between. Now consider those mistakes that were more than mere oversights or accidents, but were intentional-- that were sin. Now think how complicated life can get when we sin. We hurt others, relationships are broken, we are led to hiding, lying, and isolating ourselves. We feel shame and guilt. It just gets in the way of the good things we're trying to do. God hasn't created us for that kind of life. Pray that he keep you on a path free of sin. It's not worth it. It makes life way more messy than it needs to be.
