A common tendency is to blame others for our own mistakes, faults, and shortcomings. And we easily see the faults in others but are often blind to our own faults.
The enemy of our hearts and minds, the devil, has a mission to introduce false solutions to the very problems he deceivingly set in motion in the Garden of Eden. His “solutions” only produce more blame, shame, division and chaos.
The creator and lover of our souls has the only solution to the sin problem. He lovingly and sacrificially made atonement for all sin, by taking our place, and suffering unimaginable torture and death to give us the opportunity to receive full pardon for all our sin, and to transform our hearts and minds to live in victory. He conquered sin, death and the grave, and resurrected to bring us back to our perfect Father, the source of perfect love. All we need to do is receive Him and His gift of rescuing, and give our lives to Him. So amazing!

“People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.” —Proverbs 28:13 NLT
