Final Words.

• All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of
  God (John 321-24)
• Jesus died for everyone - yes even you (John
  316)
• As we forgive others so our Father in heaven will
  forgive us (Matt 614)
• Our past shapes who we are, it may not be the
  best - but it is nothing to be ashamed of -
  Christians do not live in Shame they live in
  victory.
