1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

What of Today’s Verse…

All of our sins can be forgiven! That’s great. All stain from our sins we can be cleansed! Isn’t that incredible! But only of God’s grace and his willingness to give us the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Let us Pray:

Father, please forgive me today for my lack of passion to love and forgive others in the way I am forgiven by you. Fashion in me a heart like your own. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

Words of Wisdom

Who talks you out of more things than anyone else? Maybe your spouse? Your parents? Your boss? Your lawyer? If you’re like most people, the answer probably is: yourself.
 
You have an “inner voice” that has opinions on everything you do. That inner voice has its own perspective on you as a person, and is acutely aware of your limitations and shortcomings. Every time you attempt to step out of your box, to try something new and challenging, that inner voice starts in on you. “You can never do that,” it says.
 
Well, that inner voice is wrong. You can do it if you set your mind to it, no matter what has happened in the past. In fact, your biggest obstacle is convincing yourself that you can. The first step in doing that is to acknowledge that the “inner voice” exists, and then take steps to counteract it.
 
The inner voice will always be there. You can’t get rid of it. But you can keep it from dominating your thoughts and actions by supplying yourself with plenty of positive input.
 
Get yourself around positive, future-oriented people. Read books, listen to tapes, talk back to the voice and say, “Yes I can!” Dwell on the possibilities, not the risks. Model the behaviour of successful people. Take action toward your goals. Remind yourself of your accomplishments and of the challenges you’ve overcome in the past. Write down your goals and review them at least once a day. Find your purpose in life keep yourself focused on it.
 
You can accomplish great things if you’ll just let yourself do it.
