MAKING IT PERSONAL
Today's reading: Acts 3-4

"Now turn from your sins and turn to God, so you can be cleansed of your sins." Acts 3:19 NLT

Here's my problem...

And I hope it's only my problem...

That none of you struggle with it as well...

That you have no clue what I'm talking about...

That you have to live vicariously through me in this devotion...

I some back to the same sins over and over.

There, I've said it.

Seldom am I falling on my face before God asking forgiveness for sins that are 'new to me', sins that I've given a 'first try', sins that I accidentally 'slipped into'.

It's the same ones.

I repeat myself over and over in my times of confession--I've noticed it. I'm sure God has noticed it.

So here's what I've settled in my heart: I've not truly turned from my sins and turned to God.

I've mentioned my sins in prayer. I've talked about my friends with accountability partners. I've written about my sins in numerous journals that I keep. I am well aware of the temptations around me that lead me to sin.

But I've not turned away from my sins.

Turned my back on them.

Changed my path so not to walk with those sins any longer.

I want today to be the day. I want yesterday to be the last day God had to hear from me about 'those sins'. I want to set out on a new road...with God.
