“I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it.

I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.”

The psalmist David said that he encouraged himself in the Lord, and if he can do it, then we can do it too.”

Getting saved simply means giving ourselves up to God by taking ourselves out of our own keeping and entrusting ourselves into His keeping. God does miracles, but He also expects us to do our part
