If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. I John 1:8-10, ESV You can’t really see the change, but each drop of water that flows in a mountain stream is gradually wearing the rocks away. In our lives, sin can be just like the drops of water over the rocks. We give in to one little temptation and then another. We try to justify each sin but before we know it our relationship with God is worn away.
There is good news, God will restore our relationship. We begin the process of restoration by confession. Confession isn’t easy. We must look hard to see the sin in our lives, especially the little ones that we think aren’t really that bad, and admit that we have sinned. During this time of Lent look closely for the sin in your life, and be amazed at a love so great that Jesus paid the price for each sin on the cross. Accept his grace and forgiveness and walk close to him. Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Show us the truth of our sin. We humbly bow in gratitude for your faithfulness to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Amen
