Having acknowledged your desire to develop your relationship with the Lord. We come to acknowledge his greatness and love for us personally. In this new or renewed journey, we must first confess our wrongdoings and ask for his forgiveness and the forgiveness of others if possible. He is faithful to forgive us of our sorted past behaviors, foolish, and wicked decisions regardless of the act or actions. "Once forgiven" We have a clean record with him which gives us the ability to start new without our past record to hinder our progress. This is a new way of living our lives and will take much effort and changes in our character which will come with dedication, reading the bible for spiritual cleansing and instruction. We also must receive the gift of forgiveness and ask for it every time we need it. He is faithful to provide all we need when we seek him in honesty and sincerity of heart.
