A gift

Last night, the group of guys that I meet with on a weekly basis received a gift. It was an anonymous gift of value. Attached with it was a letter which included individual words and prayers about each of us. I felt undeserved of the kind words much less the gift. The person(s) prayer for me was that I would find peace with my past and that I would come to realize how God has made me a new creation.

I am taken aback at how much that convicted me. Am I the one person who is holding me back from accepting me as a new creation? Have I allowed Satan to convince me that I will never amount to much because of my actions of youth? Can I truly move forward if I have not fully accepted God total forgivenness and grace? Have I forgiven myself?

Whoever sent us brothers that gift, I thank you.
