I need to explain to you that the tie between sin and pain is not something that our head shows us. How many people think that there are pain because God punishes them. Who never thought that these pains and evil of their lives and of the world are fruits of divine castigation?

Our God is not a punishing God! What happens is that unfortunately our sins, many times, directly already cause us pains and problems. For example, the person that person who nourishes anger and resentment ends with problems in his liver, his stomach and his circulatory system. It is a direct time, because we are not made to hate.

Do you understand? It is not God that punishes us, but we that live with negative attitudes and feelings we give space for the enemy to enter.

Therefore, we are going to decide: Sin in my life, no more! If I sin, I am not going to remain in any day in sin. I am going to later recognize my guild and present it to the Lord. I am going to present myself to my God, my Lord, that is love and mercy and pardon. And in the hour in which I recognize this and present myself to Him, I will be pardoned. It is clear that if it was a grave sin, I will need to go to the sacrament of confession. In this way, I not only have God’s forgiveness, but a “sign” that proves that God pardoned me. Confession guarantees the forgiveness that you forgiveness to recognize your sin.

Do not lose time, Recognize it as soon as possible and receive from the Lord the full purification of your sins.  Present yourself to the Lord to live a new life.

God bless you!
