Memory Verse this week…
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. 1 John 1:9
In context
If
we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the
truth. 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. If we claim we have not sinned,
we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
1 John 1:8-10
No sin…really?
How could anyone not see that they have sin in their life? A bit holier than
thou attitude or just plain arrogance must rule in their hearts. Next time you
are out and about…look at the general population…they don’t seem to be a happy
group of people. I think there are a lot of people out there with low
self-esteem. Generally they are down on themselves—for not meeting their own
expectations. Fancy car, name-brand or a good replica in their clothing style, the
latest and greatest cell phone, and more electronic equipment in their home or
apartment than they can use at one time—these are all things that drive their
egos. But those aren’t the things that matter…and they may even be things that
draw one into sin. Be careful where those electronics and internet connections
take you. Light porn can entice a person into a deeper and deeper dark hole of corruption.
Into sin.

Don’t let yourself
be drawn into that dark hole…seek the light. Jesus told us that He is the light
of the world.
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said,
"I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in
darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12
We don’t have
to walk in darkness…but when we stumble we do need to confess our sin.
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.
What a great
promise. Keep your account short…confess as soon as you realize that you have
sinned. We never know when our last breath is our last breath.
Prayer ~ Jesus… I confess to You that I have
sinned today…not doing what I should have done…and thinking with an attitude
that I know is not pleasing to you. Thank You for being faithful and just to
forgive me for my sins and to cleanse me from all wickedness.
