If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.<\/p>\n

\u20141 John 1:7<\/a><\/p>\n

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…<\/h4>\n

As we seek to please God and trust in his grace, more grace is supplied. As we walk openly, transparently, and bring who we are to the Light (John 3:19, 21<\/a>), we are forgiven our sins and cleansed of their stains (1 John 1:8-9<\/a>). This grace gives us an ongoing relationship with each other for fellowship, encouragement, and mutual support, and it also brings us into deeper fellowship with our Father in heaven. Jesus’ death was “once for all”<\/i> (Hebrews 7:27<\/a>, 9:12<\/a>, 26<\/a>, 10:10<\/a>); its cleansing power goes on and on for each of us, as long as we tune our hearts to the Father’s grace, we are open about our sinful failures, and our hearts return to the path that seeks the Father’s will and live in the Light of Jesus.<\/p>\n

My Prayer…<\/h4>\n

Loving Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus and the cleansing his death brings me. Help me live a more dedicated life each day. Thank you for the assurance that, as I seek your will and live your life, you are also forgiving me of my sins, cleansing me of their stains, and making me new. Through the intercession of Jesus, and in his mighty name, I offer these words of thanks. Amen.<\/p>\n
