Justin Bieber remembers and thanks Jesus for forgiveness after leaving wild days behind

Pop star Justin Bieber, who once made
more bad headlines than good, has
thanked Jesus that he no longer has to live
in shame.
The “intentions” singer shared
his reflections on the meaning of his
Christian faith on his Instagram page,
where he has over 140 million followers.
“Thank you Jesus for my life. Thank you
for your forgiveness! Thank you for
showing me I am enough!” he wrote.
“Thank you that I no longer have to carry
shame but can walk with my chest up and
head held high knowing I am loved, chosen,
and forgiven!”
He posted his reflection next to a selfie of
him wearing a gray hoodie and looking
pensive.
Continuing on, he encouraged his millions
of followers to share all their burdens with
Jesus.
“If you struggle with your past give it to
Jesus! He isn’t burdened by it!” he said.
“He loves you and is honored to know all of
little details good and bad in your life! He
isn’t angry with you, he wants the best for
you!”
The message of forgiveness is something
Bieber has first hand experience of after
years of negative press for DUI charges,
drug use and an arrest for drag racing. In
2014, he paid out $80,000 to settle a
lawsuit with a neighbor whose house he
was accused of egging.
But that same year, he dramatically
changed his ways and got baptized in a
bathtub. He’s been committed to his
Christian faith ever since.
