>My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But 
>if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our 
>defense -- Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
>--1 John 2:1
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>God hates sin. Don't you? I know I do. But isn't it amazing how 
>we'll fall back into the same old traps again and again. This is 
>where John, the tender Shepherd that he was, hits the nail on the 
>head. The goal is to not commit even one sin. But, knowing our 
>struggle against the flesh, John also gives assurance to those of us 
>trying to live faithful and pure lives that when we do sin, the 
>sacrifice for our sins, God's Son, is also our defense attorney.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>God, no one and nothing is like you. I did not have to provide a 
>sacrifice for my sins, which broke your heart. You provided that 
>sacrifice. Please use me today as I try to give myself, my life, and 
>my future back to you as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to 
>you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
