Our hideous sins must have been held captive. In the eyes of God we human beings are unfaithful, in spite of His keeping calling us to come back to Him. On the contrary, His love for us is faithful. My broken spirit has been healed whenever I was burdened by grief and sorrow of sin. He binds my wounds with love. Through the sacrament of confession He washed away my sins and set me free. Through His mercy I expect to be restored to my good health as I wait for Easter, not only for spiritual rebirth and renewal but physical restoration. I'll be filled with the joy of inner healing.Bethnoreply@blogger.com
