I am the Lord: that is my name...
Behold, the former things are come
to pass, and new things do I declare.
Isaiah 42:8-9
God has made me into a trophy of His grace...

He has done the same for all those who have placed their faith in His Son Jesus, and on His Son's sacrifice of himself upon the cross. Jesus has paid the full penalty for my sins, and I am thankful.
I know there are some that are upset with my continual public proclamation of being forgiven. It is a fact and product of human nature not to believe that someone who's been labeled as a "monster" and a bad person, has had his life get turned around for the better, or how someone with my background of derangement and crime could become a productive, caring and kindhearted individual, but it was all the Lord's doing.
Many, I'm sure, want to see me suffer. They want me to be miserable, tormented, and depressed. The idea that a murderer could feel joy and peace while he's in prison, gauls them. And I don't blame them for feeling this way. But like it or not, I now belong to God's family. I am a redeemed member of His "household of faith." Galatians 6:10.
Thanks to Messiah Jesus, I do not have to stay stuck in the past. I don't have to live in the pit of regret. The Lord has made all things new. He has given me beauty for ashes, and the "oil of joy" for sadness. He has also provided me with a garment of praise in place of a prison uniform.
What God has done for me He will do for anyone. He does not esteem one above another. It is good and proper to openly confess these truths.
