1 JOHN 1:9

IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO

FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

( 1 JOHN 1:9 )

Dear Reader,

For our “Out of the mouths of Babe’s” category, I received

the following story this week. So let us set back and listen

to a 6 year old child as she teaches us a valuable lesson.

I hope you will enjoy this, and pause a moment to think about

it as well.

Subject: A wonderful meaning of Rain

Rain: One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main

streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when

the roads are wet and slick.

Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed

position in her seat. “Dad, I’m thinking of something.” This

announcement usually meant she had been pondering some

fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her

six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

“The rain! ;” she began, “is like sin, and the windshield wipers

are like God wiping our sins away.

After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.

“That’s really good, Aspen.” Then my curiosity broke in. How far

would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked… “Do you

notice how the rain keeps on coming?

What does that tell you?”

Aspen didn’t hesitate one moment with her answer: “We keep

on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us.”

I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

After all, In order to see the rainbow, you must first endure

some rain. Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,

On this day...
