Have you ever seen an infomercial advertising a detergent that "leaves things looking like new" and thought sounds too good to be true? It's that same skepticism which keeps us from seeking God's forgiveness. I've often thought, there's no way God can forgive me now, thinking that He wouldn't be able to see past my… Continue reading Farewell Past
