1 John 1:9 (New International Version)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
I ran across this story as told by a mother and was really touched. I hope you enjoy it like I did. What a great lesson.
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main
streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are
wet and slick.
Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed
position in the front seat. "Mom, I'm thinking of something." This
announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a while and was
now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had discovered. I was
eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain," he began, "is like sin. And
the windshield wipers are like God, wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps-raced up my arms, I was able to
respond, "That's really good, Matthew." Then my curiosity broke in.
How far would this little boy take this revelation? So I asked, "Do you
notice how the rain keeps on coming?
What does that tell you?"
Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer.
"We keep on sinning and God just keeps on forgiving us."
Dear Lord we thank You for always forgiving us of our
sins. We pray today that we would have the strength to not do the things we know
we shouldn’t. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
