The joyous shout "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin!" was missing in my life - and with it the joy of heaven, which is ours in Jesus. And all because I had forgotten what it means to weep over my sins! That is why my love for Jesus had burned low. It's pardoned sinners who are on fire with love. From bitter experience I know how impoverished a life without daily repentance is. No nearness of heaven. No radiant joy. No worship ascending from a heart overflowing with thanksgiving. No passion for Jesus. No power or anointing or fruitfulness in ministry.
