Three Small Words

Three small words so important...make such a
difference...open up channels of communication.
Those three words..."I have sinned" spoken to God
..spoken out of a truly broken heart...broken
because I have sinned against God who is Holy.
Why are those words hard to say? Pride needs to bend.

In Psalm 51, David says, "Against you and you only
have I sinned and done this evil in your sight."
The prodigal son acknowledged "I have sinned against
heaven and in your sight." It is not enough to
recognize and admit "I am wrong" but I must realize
that all sin is against God. Only then wilI I be
ready to let Him change me.

Like the father the prodigal son who was waiting
with open arms for his son to return; God is looking
waiting with open arms to forgive and receive all
who truly, humbly acknowledge to Him "I have sinned
against you".

God revealed His heart to forgive when He allowed His
only begotten Son's arms to be opened upon
the cross where He bore our sins.
