 The word of God says the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. That's how I was. When I realized that Jesus paid the penalty for my sins and trusted in him, I was forgiven. That's the grace of God in action. Now the Holy Spirit has put in me a new heart. I'm just not the same guy I was. Well, I'm sure I'm very glad to hear that. If everyone stole as many books as you did, we wouldn't have a library at all.
