-
Have you ever experienced moments when you became aware of the ways you've fallen short?
-
Words spoken too quickly, thoughts that weren't pure, attitudes that didn't reflect Christ.
-
Sin can create distance in our hearts, not because God moves away, but because we do.
-
But Scripture gives us a promise.
-
1 John chapter 1, verse 9 says, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
-
Notice the words faithful and righteous.
-
God does not forgive reluctantly.
-
He does not partially cleanse.
-
He cleanses completely.
-
Today we come honestly before him, not hiding or pretending, but trusting his promise.
-
Take a moment to thank God that he is faithful.
-
Thank him that forgiveness is available because of Jesus.
-
Don't rush past this moment.
-
Lord, you are faithful and righteous.
-
You forgive me completely.
-
You cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
-
I am forgiven and made clean.
-
Amen.
