TMZ reported that the police said that Justin was drag racing on the streets and later surfaced that he was below the legal limit.

Justin Bieber has now taken to social media to reflect on those times, as he disclosed that God has brought him a long way from being unhappy, confused, angry, mislead, misunderstood and angry.

Bieber, stated that even though he was not in a good place at the time, God was as close to him then as he is right now.

He therefore encouraged his fans to let their past be a reminder of how far God has brought them, after sharing a picture of his arrest.

See what he wrote below:

7 years ago today I was arrested, not my finest hour. Not proud of where I was at in my life. I was hurting, unhappy, confused, angry, mislead, misunderstood and angry at god.. I also wore too much leather for someone in Miami. All this to say God has brought me a long way. From then til now I do realize something.. God was as close to me then as he is right now. My encouragement to you is to let your past be a reminder of how far god has brought you. Don’t allow shame to ruin your today let the forgiveness of Jesus take over and watch your life blossom into all that God has designed you to be. LOVE YOU GUYS WITH MY WHOLE HEART
