| 0:58.8 | Hi, moms. This is Heidi St. John. Do you beat yourself up over past mistakes? Do you replace scenes in your mind of things that you wish you could do over again? Well, you're not alone. In Romans 8, 1 through 12, we read, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, |
| 1:05.9 | because through Christ Jesus, the law of the spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death. |
| 1:08.1 | You know what? That's a promise. |
| 1:11.3 | And it's a promise for those of you who can relate to me when I say, |
| 1:17.0 | when I ask about whether or not you beat yourself up over past mistakes. There have been some things in my life that I have had to learn to let go of. Sometimes I disappoint people and I don't |
| 1:22.9 | know how to recover from it. And I've discovered I can be a people pleaser. But you know what? God wants me to |

| 2:03.5 | busy mom. He loves you so much that he laid his life down for you. And you know what? It is not |
| 2:09.0 | worth carrying a grudge around and it's certainly not worth not forgiving yourself. If you can't |
| 2:14.7 | forgive yourself for your past sins, then Satan will use them to hang you up for the rest of your life. |
| 2:20.2 | Is that what you want? |
| 2:21.2 | No, we want to live in victory. |
| 2:23.5 | I watched my little ones recently playing in the garage, and they were trying to make a little road out of chalk. |
| 2:30.7 | They had their little spinning cars out there. |
| 2:32.9 | And I noticed that when they fight, they kind of get it out of the system, and then they're cars out there. And I noticed that when they fight, |
