… John teaches truth of God being willing (and able) to cleanse His people of their (our) sins if they (we) are able to confess them before God.

My Devotional Journal:Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Marvin Williams … AT THIS LINK        …  writes about major telecom companies knowing and ignoring the toxic effects of lead covered cable which they left in the ground for years, leaching toxins into the soil; … but finally getting serious, in confessing their lack of action, by replacing the toxic cables with safer ones.     

And the story illustrates how unconfessed sin becomes a spiritual toxin in the lives of unconfessed sinners.  But when and if anyone is willing to confess and repent of their (our) sin, God’s word and His promises are to cleanse them (us) - (see Scriptures provided above). That’s a pretty good deal, from a loving and grace-sharing God, don’t ya think?  I do!!   And I’m going for it.  … How about you?  

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for cleansing me of my sin … FOREVER … as I repent to follow You, Lord .  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to confess and repent of our sins and follow You, Lord again today.   … AMEN
