1 John 1:8-10 (NLT)

"8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.”

Most of the time, we know when we have sinned. How do we respond to this? It can be easy to try to ignore our actions/choices that led to our sins. But we can’t find peace when we ignore our sins, we can’t be in a full relationship with God. The longer we try to ignore our sin, the greater danger we are in of hardening our hearts; the greater the danger is that we remain separated from our Father. Turn to God. Confess. Repent.  Receive Forgiveness.

Q: How can you be cleansed of wickedness?

Q: Is the word of God in your heart? How can you deepen your knowledge of His word?

Q: How can you share the word of God today, how can you share the good news of forgiveness?

"Give us today our daily bread."
 
Father, your love is greater than I can comprehend or deserve. Thank you, Lord, for you shall never let me go hungry for food, thirsty for a drink, or in need of comfort. I praise you, Lord.
