Pensamento:
Podemos ser perdoados dos nossos pecados! Isso é maravilhoso, mas há melhores notícias ainda. Podemos ser purificados de qualquer mancha do pecado!! Isso é incrível: não sou apenas perdoado, sou purificado e renovado! Mas, somente por causa da graça de Deus e o perfeito sacrifício por nossos pecados.
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 or residue from our past 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. The word "confess" our sins means to share our sins with another believer and call what we've done by the same name God does. We recognize our sin and turn from it! When we do, new life awaits; let's refuse to hesitate!
Oração:
Pai Perdoador, por favor, perdoe-me hoje por minha falta de paixão para amar e perdoar outros da maneira que o Senhor tem me perdoado tão graciosamente. Crie em mim um coração como o seu: fiel, perdoador e gracioso. No precioso nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_1joao1_9.html
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. Now, please Father, 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)
In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
