Word for the day

"for if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our consciences from dead works to serve the Living God." Heb 9:13-14

My little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence God;" 1 John 3:17-21

What peace and security this word offers. "whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything." Thank you Lord. I pray that you will remind me of this truth each time I start to beat myself up.
