Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We can be forgiven of our sins, all of them, forever. That's great news, but there's even better news. We can be purified of any stain from our sins. You and I can say, "I am forgiven and purified — pure as if I had never sinned!" That's incredible: not only am I forgiven, but I'm also made clean and new again! Not only can I have a fresh start, but I can also have a clean slate. This gift is ours when we are honest with ourselves and with God by confessing our sins and turning from them. New life awaits; let's refuse to hesitate!

My Prayer...

Forgiving Father, please forgive me today of my sins. I confess them to you freely and honestly. I hold nothing back from you. I refuse to rationalize away or dismiss any of those sins. Please, create in me a pure heart — faithful, forgiving, gracious, and filled with only holy intentions.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24)
