Whether we admit it or not, we all have a past. We have all said words, been places and done things that we wish we hadn’t. We all have things in our past that we are ashamed of. For many of us, the shame in our past is a barrier to loving and living for God in the present. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Because of what Jesus has done for us, we can have a blessed assurance to connect with God today.
