You are Forgiven

Psalm 65:3-4 (NLT)
Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,
you forgive them all. What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts.What festivities await us inside your holy Temple.

It is good to realize your sin. It is good to feel the weight of it. It is good to feel a little pulled down by it. Because that means you're aware of it. That means God can more easily help you with it. Because there are many people trapped in the sinful world. They are stuck in a place where sin doesn't matter and it is the right way of living. Those people do not feel the weight of sin on their shoulders. They are way farther out there. Do you know someone like that? See what you can do to help them out.
It is a blessing to be aware of our sin. It is even more of a blessing to be forgiven of it. His forgiveness is so much bigger and greater than all your sin. It will consume you and rid you of your sinfulness.
Yeah, it can take a long time to become pure and holy, but don't get frustrated. Remember how much God loves you and that He has chosen to bring you near to Him. He is there with you now taking away little by little your desire to sin. And one day you'll see the results of His work in yourself. Pure and holy.
