Renewed & Refreshed!

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me”-Psalm 51:10

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”- Pslam 51:12

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”-Isaiah 40:31

“he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit”-Titus 3:5

Renewal and Refreshment is what comes after Confession & Repentance ?

The joy and peace that our Lord offers is indescribable.   It fills the heart and the soul.  There is no force on this earth that can diminish it.  For it grows at God’s command.

It lifts us up.  It’s kind of like giving birth.  They tell you as you prepare for the birth of your child, that is will be such a joyful experience that the pain of childbirth will simply be forgotten. And it is 🙂

And that is exactly what feeling Renewed and Refreshed feel like.  The pain of our sins and confession recedes rapidly and completely, leaving only the true joy of being Renewed and Refreshed.

So don’t wait to Confess & Repent, because being Renewed & Refreshed comes immediately after ?
