My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Nancy Gavilanes -  AT THIS LINK  -  wrote of being on a short-term mission to the jungles and being in the home of a local native family, the only ones in the area with a water filter (perhaps like the on one in the photo), which nicely illustrated how Christ sacrifice filters out ALL sin from born-again believers when they’re willing to confess our sins, we are told by the Highlight Passage above.   

I pray today that all reading with me, KNOW that all we need to do is be willing to humbly confess of our known sins, realizing that we can move on, in repentance, to serve the Lord, … completely CLEANSED of our sin.   So, I pray that we all take in the linked song and meditate thru the Scriptures above, recognizing that we can be fully cleansed of our sins when we’re willing to confess to our Lord.                                                                         

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for cleansing me of my sin, Lord.     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, …to come to You, Lord, with our sins and be cleansed by Your blood.          … Amen
