Reconciliation
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Romans 5:7-11 NIV
I can still remember going to confession a couple years ago, it was my first time since childhood. I was very nervous, my life had been about sin and pleasure, not about living a life devoted to God's work. When the priest offered me forgiveness for my sins, I felt as though a burden had been lifted, and as though I had been cleansed.
Enter me Holy Spirit, and cleanse me, that I might be reconciled with my Lord. I know I am a sinner, and unworthy, but only say the word, and I shall be healed.
