Mate, forget the past. Past sins are forgiven and you are washed clean of them. It is absolutely essential that you perceive your relationship as if it were washed clean with the Blood of Jesus. God's Word tells us that if we walk in the light, then the Blood of Jesus continually cleanses us from all our failures along the way:
1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
If you allow Satan to bring you down over past sins it will gradually eat away at your belief in what God the Father said, and that is that the Blood of Christ has washed away your sins. If you allow Satan to dupe you into seeing yourself as guilty and shameful, then he will be successful in removing you from standing on that promise in His Word, and it will cause you to see your relationship with Him in a way which is not true. Such a perceptions will greatly affect your faith over time. Don't let the devil work you over mate. Repent every day if you must and revel in the fact that you are forgiven. Your past sins are forgotten!
