Now on to the show.

Scripture says not one of us is without sin. If we could all just be completely honest, even in this moment, that our deepest innate longing is for God's forgiveness. But the first step

to receiving God's forgiveness is to admit that we need it.

In order to admit that you need God's forgiveness, you have to come to a place of repentance.

That's where spiritual growth happens. My prayer is that we would understand the goodness, the power that comes out of consistently walking with a repented heart,

and also enabling ourselves to actively receive God's forgiveness day in and day out and all that we do.

This truth is vital to live in a vibrant and a fulfilling life. And yesterday I heard

someone tell me that I should just swim in God's grace, that I should swim in God's grace. And I

want to tell you today, don't swim in God's grace. Drown in it, sink in it. Allow God to

fully immerse you in his love and in his grace.

One of the most precious truths of God's word is that he is near to us, that he's closer than the air we breathe.

Think it's Psalm chapter 139 reads, where can I go from your spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there.

If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn.

If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there, your hand will guide me.
