Fresh Start

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“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, ESV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Do you need a fresh start today? Even as believers in Jesus, we all make mistakes and wrong choices. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But the good news is that we don’t have to stay separated from God in our sin. God wants us to come to Him so He can forgive us, cleanse us and give us a fresh start.

No matter what happened yesterday, or even five minutes ago, God is waiting for you with open arms. Don’t let the enemy condemn you and lie to you today. God is not mad at you. He loves you and longs to restore everything in your life. Confess your sins to God and allow Him to cleanse you today. Choose to forgive others so that you can receive God’s forgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to keep you close so that you can live a life pleasing to Him. As you draw close to God, He will draw close to you and show you His great love and blessing all the days of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for receiving me just as I am. Today I confess my sins to You and ask You to cleanse me. I choose to forgive others so that You can forgive me. Keep me close so that I can live a life that is pleasing to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

  1. Thanks Joel & Victoria for you insight!
    I could not help but think of the Father’s love toward the Lost Son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11 – 35). God Our Father searches and always waits for us. Trully He does not rest until we are safely back in His arms where no foe can snatch us from. Thank you Jesus for revealing our Father’s love for us!
