Happy are those whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned. Happy is the man whom the LORD does not accuse of doing wrong and who is free from all deceit.

When I did not confess my sins, I was worn out from crying all day long. Day and night you punished me, LORD; my strength was completely drained, as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.

Then I confessed my sins to you; I did not conceal my wrong doings. I decided to confess them to you, and you forgave all my sins.

Psalm 32:1-5

Can you imagine what a movie of your life would look like? Think about all the wrong decisions you made, all the wrong things you did and yet God loves you. Would you be ashamed of some of the scenes from that picture? Would you look at the relationships you have messed up and try to do better? God forgives you.

The spirit of God uses the word of God

to change the people of God.
