I am not without sin. Some days I spread the light and rejoice in what the Lord had created. But some days I deny the Lord's gifts in such an atrocious manner that I wonder if the offense is too great. I'm being a little dramatic, but I saved it for after Christmas lol

For if we confess our sin to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. I John 1:9

The non-meritorious act of acknowledging our sin, pleading guilty and accepting the truth that Christ died to pay the debt for all our sin and rose again to give us eternal life grants us clemency and a permanent status as sons.

Subsequent to salvation, we are eternally sons, but regular confession of sin through private prayer allows us to be cleansed temporarily so that we can be filled with His Spirit until we sin again.

It’s similar to the difference between an inheritance (eternal life) and a daily allowance (filling of the Spirit). We will one day receive the full portion of complete and permanent union with His Spirit, but for now, we must abide by His expectations to receive our day to day blessings.

That's for sharing. I've admittedly been away from the good book for a long time now, and even beforehand my relationship with scripture was superficial at best.

I've just finished writing out Psalm 22, and I rather enjoyed the experience. I feel like I was able to reflect on each passage in a more substantial way.
