As sinners, we considered and did things that were not right in God’s eyes. It is true that we acted in ways that were not pleasing to God and visited places that would make Him ashamed. Our Lord, however, wants us to think about and do good things. So, release yourself from that burden, set yourself free, and let go of the old you and everything connected to it. Press on toward the reward that God has for you.
