1 John 1:8 NASB "if we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."It brought back memories of when I was missing the mark! Today we read about sin, and if we say we have no sin in us, we are not telling the Truth! As I watched my grandson learn to "hit the mark' in the toilet as he learns to go on the potty, I was reminded of the time when my crew and I were fighting a fire and the chief wanted us to hit a certain spot with the fire hose. We were missing the mark and so he had to correct us to where we needed to be. In life, we will miss the mark, times when we don't keep our eye on the target. Those times can be sin and each of us have those moments, like when the Spirit leads us and we walk the other way, or we see the person in need and we find excuses not to help. Life is about choices and admitting that we sin, can lead us to the Truth! Let's understand that correction is for our own benefit and try harder to hit the mark! peace, tom
