Five letters between me and my past mean a changed and now purposeful life. I did nothing. You did it all. There is now no more condemnation for what I had done. There is no more shame; because of ‘atone.’ You paid your life’s blood, Lord, to atone on my behalf. You made me a new creature, devoted to loving and living according to your good pleasure. Thank You, Jesus. I bring praise in your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.” (Ezekiel 16: 62-63 ESV)
