He Forgives
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. —1 John 1:8-10 (NKJV)
“I know that you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom. Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.” (Psalms 51:6, 10 TPT) “Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.” (Psalms 51:12 TPT) “For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you. The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet.” (Psalms 51:16-17 TPT)
“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!” —Psalms 32:1-2 (NLT)
