There was no place to go with that. There was no place to say \u201cWho\u2019s going to forgive me?\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p><p><i>And then that one day of confessing all of them, and Jesus forgiving me in that moment was &#8230; you know, that\u2019s the big difference, if people want to know, what are the big differences between all of the others things I did and searched and studied and read about and gave my all to, Jesus is the only one who says, \u201cI came here. I went through this for you, to forgive yours sins.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p><p>He set me free. He was there. He healed me.<\/p><p>Jesus alone can offer this hope to every professor, student, and person in the world. There is no rival; think of the greatness required to offer forgiveness of sins to every person on the face of the earth, past, present and future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-df3415e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"df3415e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bea6cd9\" data-id=\"bea6cd9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aec11b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aec11b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Rick Hove and Heather Holleman<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inevitably our lives are shaped by what is great, our hearts are wooed by what we esteem as most beautiful, and we will always run to that which we believe will most satisfy us.
