“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it. God’s purpose is not limited by your past.

God specializes in giving people a fresh start. The Bible says, “What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! … What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record.”
