When we feel guilty, it’s hard to believe that God wants to forgive our sins. But the amazing thing about God is that forgiveness brings him great joy—much like the joy we feel when we give someone a present we know they’ll love.

Experiencing the gift of God’s forgiveness will change our lives. It will make us joyful and grateful. It will also empower us to forgive others in the same way that God forgives us.
