I just recently began to use my webcam to take pictures and to email family and friends. I want to get my wife on cam soon. She's on her way back from surgery, just now. But in the course of taking pictures, you know, I've deleted a lot of pictures, because they were of poor quality. When you put together an imperfect subject and poor technic you get poor quality.

Being able to erase or correct and change our mistakes is a great asset in our work, hobbies, and life in general. I make so many mistakes which I need to correct. This brings me to the "good news" of God my heavenly Father's will to forgive me when I miss the complete fullness of His great plan and power for my daily life and ministry.

God's grace is truly amazing and great. He forgives us of our sin, by cleansing us and washing us by His Word. Whenever we come confessing our sins of commission and omission He will forgive and cleanse us. I John 1:9 says"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."KJV. The words of special note in this verse which hinge upon our confessing(homologomen from Homologeo to confess, to avow frankly, to declare openly) our sins, are: forgive (aphe from aphiemi to release to forgive) and cleanse (katharise from katharos to clean,purify, to free from sin).

Unrighteousness is sin. Yet God who is righteous, is faithful to forgive and to cleanse us of our sin. There is therefore no doubt God will and does forgive us of our sin whenever we come in repentance before Him, through Christ Jesus, confessing our sins.

Sin comes because of the darkness of unbelief and rebellion in the heart of the sinner who is walking/living according to this world's enticements and lusts. And, when the light of God's word shines into the sinner's heart it reveals transgressions and sins. So he/she can see and know his/her sinful condition; of failing/missing God's plan and will for living in the world victoriously.

All of us were sinners of all sorts, but when we repented and confessed our sin God was ready and waiting to cleanse us through the life blood of Christ Jesus. Now we are saints set apart to walk in the new powerful mission of living the Christ life, while constantly in fellowship with our Holy Heavenly Father via Jesus Christ our advocate by the Father's right hand.

Christians! We are victors and conquerors with joyous victory songs in our hearts as we in love serve our Lord while always forgiving one another, Ephesians 4:32 "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."KJV.
