But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
That thief, out of his own experience, knew the human heart. There is something within us that is
out of whack. There is something within us that scorns the delights that are permitted and
craves the forbidden fruit. There is something within us that is self-destructive and causes us to
throw away our most precious blessings. But Christ is ready to help us and to enter our hearts
to give us strength.
(1 John 1.7
NRSV)
A lady wrote into READER'S DIGEST sometime back to say that a co-worker of hers had his
car stolen from the company's parking lot. When the police finally located the vehicle, they found
that the thief had installed a burglar-alarm system in it.
Dear God, please help me to focus on the blessings of Christ, as I do my best to walk with him.
Amen.
