1 John 1:6-7

These verses remind me to "walk the walk" and not just "talk the talk". When I say I am a daughter of the King, my actions should add a resounding testimony to those words. When I tell a friend not to worry, he or she should see me putting my anxieties in God’s hands rather than getting frazzled. We can’t divorce faith from life.

The Holy Spirit certainly knew our thoughts when he inspired John to write these words. Even with the stinging realization of our own deeds of darkness and failure to live in the light - there is God, forgiving us and cleansing us in the blood of His Son. Let's embrace that forgiveness, and take up the cross anew!
