I served on platform at my church for 2 years before I realized how shallow my faith was. I had no real relationship with Christ. Personally, I was a vacant body traveling forward in time and not truly living my life.
I needed forgiveness.
I found it in Him.
I found that I was already forgiven by a risen savior. And while my past was not erased, it was something I could accept and move forward with.
The same is true for everyone reading these words. It doesn't matter who are and who you've been. What matters is that you turn from sinful ways, set your eyes on Jesus, and follow Him.
