I HATE guilt, but I love Starbucks. There has to be a middle ground. What makes it “ok” for me?
On my birthday, this year, I turned 50. (I know you’re thinking; “Nicole, you don’t look a day over forty-nine”… and I appreciate that! Lol)
I was gifted a LOT of Starbucks gift cards. Which I looooooove! Now, the credits on my phone are really LOADED up!
So whenever I go to Starbucks, I have people fighting with me, trying to pay, like, “Oh no, I’ll get it… I’ll get it!”
I’m like, “NO! Look at my phone. It’s already PAID for! It’s a gift!” If you’re with me… NOBODY has to pay. I’ve got this!
And, because it was even FREE to me! Have some!
The guilt is totally unnecessary.
Guilt is just the enemy’s way of trying to get US to pay for something JESUS has already paid for!
None of us is perfect. We’ve all done something wrong and need forgiveness.
But, we can’t BUY it.
We can’t even EARN it.
Forgiveness is just a GIFT!
Jesus already forgave you for messing up. When you confessed your sin… He removed it, as far as the east is from the west.
So, pick up your head, throw your shoulders back, and start walking like you own the joint… because your daddy DOES!
Jesus is WAY better than Starbucks! (And THAT’S saying something!)
Stop remembering what He’s already forgotten.
It’s all been PAID!
