Quit beating yourself up over the past. The enemy is called the accuser. He’d love for you to live in regrets, down on yourself, not enjoying the grace of God because you’re so focused on what you did wrong, the mistakes you’ve made, trying to hide the scars. Those scars weren’t meant to be hidden. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You are forgiven; you are redeemed. The scar is a testimony of the mercy of God.

Never believe anybody who tells you that you are a bad person. You are a sharer of the divine nature and, as such, are an extension of Divine Goodness in this world. Behavior doesn’t determine identity. Don’t focus on changing bad behavior to good. It is by understanding our authentic identity that transformation comes. That is the grace walk experience.
