No burden is heavier than unpardoned sin, and no blessing is greater than forgiveness.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Believer, do you remember the joyful day when you first realized you were forgiven through Jesus, the one who took your sins? Can you look back with gladness and say, "My soul fondly remembers the day of deliverance. Burdened with guilt and full of fear, I saw my Savior as my Substitute and timidly placed
my trust in him; but as my courage grew, I began to fully rely on him. Now, it is my constant joy to know that my sins are no longer counted against me, but have been placed on him. Just as the Good Samaritan paid the debts of the wounded traveler, Jesus has taken responsibility for all my future sins, saying, 'Put that on my account.'"

After a rain shower from dark and stormy skies, how refreshing is the scent of nature, and how beautifully the sun shines through the trees, turning every raindrop into a sparkling gem. Similarly, after a storm of troubles, it is wonderfully refreshing
to feel the Lord's comfort, transforming every tear into a jewel of joy and filling the soul with peaceful contentment.
