“RESTORE ME!”
Psalm 51:10-11
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
It sometimes feels as if we are continually appealing to the Lord to forgive some sin we have committed in thought, word or deed. We are sinners by birth and without a Savior,  we are eternally lost. Even after receiving Jesus Christ as our personal Savior we find that there are thoughts or actions that need forgiveness.

I heard the story of a saintly man of God who seemed to constantly live close to the Lord. Someone asked him the secret of consistently having a victorious Christian life. His response was electrifying and very revealing; “I try not to allow more than one minute to pass between my sin and my confession.”

Most of us are familiar with first John 1:9; “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive usour sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Knowing it and practicing it are two different things. The longer we try to excuse our actions instead of confessing them as a sin the farther we draw away from God.

If you want victory in your life constantly be prepared to confess when you fail or fall short. There was only one perfect human born on this earth and he was nailed to the cross. Not for his sins but for ours! Restore me Lord to a closer walk with You.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
