WASH ME

What do you do when you blow it? When you scream at the children? Lose your temper? Say something nasty you didn't mean to say? Or, you may have just spoken about someone negatively. It's all sin. And you feel guilty. If we don't, that's a bad sign.

The wonderful news is that we have an Advocate, our precious Lord Jesus Christ who is at the right hand of God interceding for us. He is our Redeemer who shed His precious blood to cleanse us from our sins.

Instead of wallowing in guilt, immediately cry out to the Lord for forgiveness. Ask Him to wash you with His precious blood. 1 John 1:7 and 9 says, "The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. . . If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Each one of us are sinners, constantly needing the mercy of Christ to forgive us and wash us when we sin. The more you keep a soft heart and seek forgiveness and cleansing, the less you will fall prey to these temptations. The more you allow Him to work in you and cleanse you the more you will be conformed to His image.

I love the words in William Cowper's hymn which we sang at our Family Devotions this morning, "There is a fountain filled with blood / Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; / And sinners plunged beneath that flood / Lose all their guilty stains." Amen.

Thank you, Jesus for the power of your precious blood to cleanse us.
