I don’t know your
heart. I don’t know what you may have
done or are now doing. I don’t know if
you have made a real mess of your life or not.
You may think that you have really done something that is so awful that
there is no longer any hope for you. You
may think that even God won’t forgive you.
If this is you, listen to what God says in today’s verse. There is nothing you have done or are now
doing that is beyond the scope of God’s forgiveness. He is able, and willing, to clean up your
act. He can take anything you have done and
take it away from you. He can wash your
heart clean, cleaner than a freshly fallen snow. Impossible?
No, God is able to help you.
If you are tired of
being you, let the Lord help you. Enough
is enough. Only the Lord can help you
with your sin problem. He is able to take
care of all of your sins. All you have
to do is be honest with yourself about it, confess what you have done before
the Lord, ask Him to forgive you, and accept His forgiveness. He will take it from there. He will purify your soul and give you a new
start in life. But when you do, you
cannot hold anything back. You must give
Him all of your sins and be willing to change so that you don’t continue in
them.
Maybe you are reading
this and you haven’t done anything drastically that has alienated you from
God. The truth of the matter is that sin
of any kind keeps us away from God. No
matter how insignificant you may think your sin is, it is very significant to
God. God is holy and no one who has
unconfessed sin in their heart can get close to God. We must deal with sin before God. If we confess our sin, the Lord is faithful
and just and He will forgive us, but we must confess our sins before the Lord
will take them away.
Dear friend, admit
it. You need to turn to the Lord today
and confess sin. Don’t put it off. There is peace deep within the soul when our
hearts are made pure by God. You will
never know His peace until you do.
