Totally Clean
August 5, 2012

A friend was updating me on his past year—a year in which he had been receiving ongoing medical treatment for cancer. The smile on his face was a powerful testimony to the good news he had just received. He said that at his one-year checkup the doctor announced that the test results all pointed to one thing: “You are totally clean!” What a difference two words can make! To my friend, totally clean meant every trace of the disease that had threatened his life only months before had been wiped from his body. We rejoiced to hear that he was totally clean!

King David, after his moral failure with Bathsheba, longed for a similar thing to happen in his heart. Hoping for the stains of his sin to be washed away, he cried out, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10). The good news for him and for us is that our sins can be taken care of. When we need cleansing, John’s familiar words bring hope: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

We can’t cleanse our own hearts; only God can do that. If we confess our sins to Him, He promises to make us totally clean!

Search me, O God, and know my heart today
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. —Orr

Confession to God always brings cleansing from God.

Read: 1 John 1:1-10

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. —1 John 1:9

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 28-30

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will
not slumber.... Psalm 121:1-3

~Blessings To All Who Enter Here~

Good Morning

"Search me, O God, and know my heart today
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. —Orr
Confession to God always brings cleansing from God."

Thank you, Rus, for ODB and the wonderful lesson today.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Sorry it came out so big, Meg. It is one of my favorite graphics, and I cut it down - but not enough.

Thank you for the beautiful pink flowers - but I’m not sure what they are. (Maybe I need more coffee?) LOL!

[MEG33]

I am inhaling coffee..LOL

Thank you, yorkie..They are Geraniums.

Well, I started to call them petunias, and then with a closer look, I thought I could see the ‘pansy angels’.....and then I didn’t know and felt REALLY dumb!

Thanks, Meg!

[MEG33]

There are so many different kinds of Geraniums..My search for flowers for Sundays has revealed a lot to me.
