SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

1 John 1:5-7     Here is the message we have heard from Christ and now announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. ⁶ So if we say we have fellowship with God, but we continue living in darkness, we are liars and do not follow the truth. ⁷ But if we live in the light, as God is in the light, we can share fellowship with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I pray that I do not return to the horror of my sins.  I don't want darkness to be a way of life.  So, I ask you to help me conquer the sin that plagues me-

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
