Redacted

Adulting involves taking responsibility

redact (verb) – to edit text for publication;
to censor or obscure (part of a text) for legal or security purposes

Honestly, the term “redacted” kinda freaked me out. Even after asking a colleague, I didn’t fully comprehend what it meant until I looked it up.

Then I began to understand how the blood of Jesus covers my sin so that it’s no longer seen by other parties.

It may historically be part of the document (my past) – but it cannot be seen. 

And in that case, it cannot be held against me. Hallelujah – what GOOD NEWS!

Now to apply this same concept when forgiving others…we have our work cut out for us, don’t we? 

But we have a Helper with power, so we’re not alone as we walk this journey. MORE good news!

Blessings, Kayren
