Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” Psalm 32: 1 - 2

I faced a lot of difficulties before I was born again. I hated the words of God. But I had a friend who encouraged me in prayer; he is the son of a pastor. He once shared Christ with me but I thought it was useless because then I was blinded by the many sins in me. One time I was falsely accused of stealing someone’s things just because I was curious.

But this friend did not give up on me. One other time I went to his home, and he convinced me about Christ. Finally, I surrendered and received Jesus Christ to be my Savior. Now I truly know what it means to be happy.

My message to brothers and sisters is, let’s repent and follow Jesus Christ, he who married the cross. For the Bible says, “Come to me, all you that are weary and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) Thank you, God, for you’re a forgiving God.

Thank you for your grace that welcomed me into your kingdom. God, please forgive all who come to repentance. Amen!
