Jesus Forgives You

"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 3:13-14

We all have regrets, past mistakes, things we wish we could undo or do over. Let it go. Move on. God forgives you. Forgive yourself.
Paul knew what he was talking about. He couldn't undo his past but he could move forward, telling everyone about Jesus, and focused on the eternity that would end his race. He could never undo the sight of Stephen's death (the first Christian martyr) or his part in that tragedy but Paul could repent and change his life.
Jesus' blood wiped your sins away. Now live in sich a way that others see Jesus living inside you.
