Again, one of the qualities that makes the gospel so real
and so great is that it doesn’t eliminate our past but just so
thoroughly deals with it. God forgives it. He changes it. He
transforms all that mess into this huge mountain of grace that
only takes us higher and closer to Him. So now, instead of
being a reason for endless shame, guilt, and regret, our past is
a reason for endless worship and free-flowing testimony.
And for continual, grateful, heartfelt prayer.
