Let's come clean!

Lord, forgive me for . . . .. What judge will forgive a crime if it is not known? Criminals are indicted, or accused of listed crimes before a judge. The crimes are made known! As we sit before our Holy Judge, we are to name our sins so they can be forgiven! We cannot simply say "forgive my sins". We need to be specific in order for God to forgive us and even bless us.

If we say that 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 that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.   (1 John 1:8-10)

Let's come clean today. Be honest before God. Allow Him to do what He does best . . . grant mercy . . . apply grace . . . and bless His children . . . you and me!

Thank you Lord!
