If we own up to our sins and admit them, God will certainly forgive us of them. And on top of that, he will scrub the wrong from our lives. That's because God is totally faithful; it's who he is. ~ 1 John 1:9 (ABP)
KEY IDEA:
God is faithful and forgiving.PRAYER:
Thank you, God! You know how bad I am -- how there are things that I think, say, and do -- things that I fail to do -- which are downright sinful. Yet, you are so faithful and so forgiving that I'm stunned. Help me to get past my sin and to dwell more on your faithfulness and forgiveness. Help me to clean up my act so that sin has no place in my life. I know that I can't do that on my own. I'm so glad, though, that I can count on you. Jesus proves that fact. Amen.
