VERSE:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
-- 1 John 1:9
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+John+1:9
THOUGHT:
God is faithful! Scripture declares it. We've experienced it. In
fact, we cherish this promise from God, especially when things
don't turn out as they "should." So when Satan does trip us with
temptation, or when we are weak or rebellious, isn't it comforting
that we can be forgiven and made clean again? God wants us to call
our sin what he calls it. (To "confess" literally means to "say the
same" thing about it as God does!) Incredibly, God does more than
forgive us. He also cleanses us. We're made new, fresh, pure, and
holy once again! That is more than being faithful and just; that's
being downright gracious.
PRAYER:
I do not have the words, Father, to express my appreciation for
your gracious forgiveness and cleansing of me. I am deeply sorry
for my weakness, my stumbling, and my rebellion. I deeply regret
disappointing you. Thank you for welcoming me back into your
presence and reminding me that I am your beloved child. Please
empower me to grow past my failures and to mature more fully into
the holiness of your Son, Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
