Be enveloped in the gentle and tender embrace of a loving God who longs for a restored relationship with his children.
What does confession mean? Why do I need forgiveness? How can I reconcile a broken relationship?
Whoever thought that confession could be about God confessing his love for us? In confession we are reconnected to the voice of God in our soul who whispers -- Do not be afraid. I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name.* You are mine. You are precious in my eyes.*
God's love transforms our lives and affects our relationships with others.
