1 John 1:8 NASB "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us." I had to be reminded that my actions didn't speak about Christ as much as about myself! Today's Word is about the Truth and if we say we don't sin, or don't have sin in our life, then we are just plain lying! I was called over to the side as one of my mentors talked to be privately. He started out by giving me a pat on the back for some of the things I did but eventually got around to telling me that some of my actions regarding others weren't in the best interest of sharing Jesus. At first, the reality was that I wanted to argue the point, but the more I thought about my actions, prayed about them, I found out that he was correct. It must have been hard for him to come to me with the Truth but caring about me and my witness of Jesus, was more important to him. Let's not be so quick to think that we don't sin but check our walk according to His Word and thank God for a good friend, mentor, to set us straight! peace, tom
