1 John 2:12 I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.


1 John 2:12 (NIV)
 
 

Imagine receiving a letter like this. Imagine how valuable this letter is. It would be a letter of great value, a promise of great importance. What would you do with such important information ? Would you share this to everyone? You have this today.
 
 

 
What you do with it is entirely up to you...but will you do it?
 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Man this is one of the scariest passages in the Bible and yet the most assuring.
The extremes of life and death.
Only God can save you for human nature is to sin
There is nothing that you do, will be perfect.
The pull in many directions will lead you to sin in some way or another.
Sometimes there are things you need to accept and work with
Once you figure out that you cannot do it alone then you need to reach out to God for assistance.
Rest assured that there will always be a hand reaching back down to you.
Thats the greatest gift you can expect.
Reach out...

Removing the dirt with a brush and a little effort

While tidying up the bath room today. I thought I would try to clean some shampoo bottles which were looking pretty grimy. The bottoms were looking really black and horrible. I was thinking that this would not come off and it was a stain on the bottles. Lo and behold as I took the brush to them, the grim came off fairly easily.

How often we have not changed a bad habit because we thought that it was too ingrained or moulded into us that it would be impossible to remove it ? In the same way, all that was needed was a little bit of effort to remove it and pherhaps a little help from a brush that cleans all sins. We can view God as the brush that helps us to clean up our lives but only if we make the effort to do something about it.

The brush has been sitting in my bathroom all this time, but if I did not use it to clean the bottles, it will still sit there and the bottles will remain as dirty and grimy as they were and even get more dirty as time went on.

Get that brush out today and clean up your act. Only you can make things happen ...
