Dear God,

How long will we be known by our sin?  You brought that question to me this morning.  How long?  

I had just been thinking about a handful of people that I remember in their sin rather than in your beloved estate.  Although some sins were committed a long time ago, I still regard them in that particular sin.  And what is worse, I still feel the old emotions around it.  How crazy is that?

That, of course, brought the deeper question to mind.  How long will you remember me in mine?  It seems that healing can only be effective when both sins are healed, not just one.  How can I expect you to heal me if I do not contribute to the healing of my brother and sister?

O Lord,

you do

not leave us

in our sin.

You open

the door

to forgiveness

and healing.

Help us

open the door

to others.

Love, Andrea
