If we confess our sins

1 John 1:9 kjv. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." There's going to come a time when failure fills the heart of every believer, and shame takes over the heart and mind. Along with the victories also come losses. When the old nature awakes from sleep, times will come when temptation floods in and bombards the mind. These failures are not to keep us down and out or for the devil to have his way, but to check our conscience and to get us closer to God, not further. In addition, the Lord will show us what our weakness is and how we can overcome those weaknesses. Don't take it for granted that Christ will forgive us each time we fall into sin. He will forgive, but we must learn from Him how to have victory over the sin. Ask, Seek, and Knock, for Christ to show you how to recognize the shadow of that one sin that creeps in time after time. He will show you how to get it out of your way. Let's all check our hearts today. Is there anything there that does not please God? Find time to go to Him and Repent. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7.  Give God Thanks for His Unfailing Love for All Humanity.
