Blessings brothers. I share a new message focused on "Joy overflowing with forgiveness." We know that the main enemy of the Christian is sin, which is the product of the temptations by which Satan deceives the believer. Upon falling into the crime of sin, there is a repentance in the conscience of the person who seeks to hide as Adam did in the garden of Eden when Satan deceived them.

Sin drives man away from God and leads him to live a world of misery, sadness and pain. Sin deeply accuses conscience and weakens us so much that we lose the desire to seek the presence of God. The best remedy for sin is repentance. We must not hide from the presence of God, but we must approach his throne with a humiliated heart and acknowledge our guilt before the Lord.

When God's forgiveness is experienced, there is a powerful liberation in the spirit and our heart is filled with joy. It is an overflowing joy that floods our whole being. God is wonderful and benign. His word says that he is benign and forgives. An extraordinary example of God's forgiveness is found in the book of Psalms, specifically in Psalm 32.
This psalm is David's confession of his sin with Bathsheba. He wrote it after his encounter with the prophet Nathan, and probably after spending time alone with God, in prayer and repentance.

If we give this psalm a title, a good one would be "Joy overflowing with forgiveness." David writes: "Blessed is he whose transgression has been forgiven and has covered his sin (Psalm 32: 1).
"Blessed" can be translated: "How wonderful!"

Sin blocks our communion with the Lord. It also prevents us from experiencing the goodness of God. David could not enjoy the sweet presence of God as long as he continued without repenting of his sin.

When you feel discouraged for having committed a certain sin again, turn to God in prayer. Ask him to apply his forgiveness to his life and receive his mercy. He loves him and wants to enjoy his company again.
