Day 163 Bible Reading: 1 Kings 9-10, Acts 8:1-25, Psalm 130 and Proverb 17:2-3 
No sin is too big for God to forgive. So when we are tormented by our past sins and wrongdoings, we shall cry out to God knowing that there is redemption in Him - Jesus' blood washes us clean. He promises that healing and restoration are for every one of us who ask. We are not just redeemed for going to heaven in the future, but bring heaven to earth now as it is in heaven. God restored us so that we can do what his original plan for us.
"O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption." – Psalm 130:7 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, thank you for dying on the Cross for my sins. Your redemption frees me from the snares of shame and guilt. Thank you for setting me free, so that I can live a purposeful life you give me. In Jesus' name, Amen."
