- If you know that you have already given your heart to Jesus and have eternal life, pause a moment to thank Him.
My own story of Jesus' forgiveness goes like this...I grew up in a Christian home (which means that we went to church a lot and my parents believed in Jesus) and I went to a Christian school so I learned a lot about God and knew just about everything a little kid should know about that stuff. But it was just stuff that I knew. When I got to 7th grade, I realized that God wanted more than just knowing stuff about him. God wanted a real relationship with me. I had the knowledge, but not the connection. At that point I asked God to forgive my sins, take the lead in my life, and He made me a part of His family (check out 1 John 3:1). At that point, God made me into a new person and He has kept at that job since then. I know He'll keep working on me to make me more like Him, and that is definitely a good thing!
- What about you...what's your story of Jesus' forgiveness?

I grew up as a PK, so i was always a fairly good girl. When I got to
5th grade, I started to hang with some girls who talked pretty dirty. I thought they were so cool, since they were a year older than me. Soon after that I started to talk like them and act like them, and at that time I realized my mistake that really affected my relationships. I asked God for forgiveness and also reaccepted him into my heart. If not for God, my life would be a mess!
