My Sin and Christ's work

This morning I was reading over a short devotional and came across this quote:
"My sins are many, but oh, it is nothing to Jesus to take them all away. The weight of my guilt presses me down as a giant's foot would crush a worm, but it is no more than a grain of dust to Him, because He has already borne its curse in His own body on the tree. It will be only a small thing for Him to give me full remission, although it will be an infinite blessing for me to receive it."

It is easy for me personally to be more aware of my sin than focused on Christ. It is easy for me to turn my thoughts inward and focus on my own sinful heart than look outward and upward to Jesus Christ. I think we all need to make it a habit early in life, if we take our Christian life serious, to make sure that every time we sin or we are aware of a pattern of sin in our lives that we don't dwell on it or remain in it but seek Jesus immediately. We are open and honest with Him as we approach Him in humility knowing that He already knows our condition. We cast ourselves and our sins onto Him and ask Him to take them away. I John 1:9, "If we confess (say the same thing as God about our sins) He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

This morning if you are aware of an ongoing pattern of sin please turn immediately to the Savior. Go to a quiet place, get on your knees and unburden your heart to Him and ask Him to cleanse you and fill you with His will for your life and seek the help of the Holy Spirit for the change Christ would have you to make. I want you to know I am fighting the same battles (I Corinthians 10:13) and am always here to help you in your pursuit of Christ.
