The love of Christ

¹Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be— you get a fresh start,

your slate's wiped clean.

²Count yourself lucky—

God holds nothing against you

and you're holding nothing back from him.

³When I kept it all inside,

my bones turned to powder,

my words became daylong groans.

⁴The pressure never let up;

all the juices of my life dried up.

⁵Then I let it all out;

I said, "I'll make a clean breast of my failures to God."

Suddenly the pressure was gone—

my guilt dissolved,

my sin disappeared...........Psalms 32:1-5
