Give and TakeNäide

Have you ever felt lost, confused, or guilty in a messy relationship that you wished you could just start over? Have you ever wished you could have a clean slate with no bad or broken history? Well, in your relationship with God, you can. In Scripture, a guy named John taught us how to renew our relationship with God. If we choose to be completely open and honest and bring everything—our mistakes, hurts, and pain—to Jesus, He will clean the slate. If we ask Him to forgive us where we’ve gone wrong, He will make our relationship with Him like new. In other words, we can all start over.

Today, take a moment to talk to God about any areas you feel like you’ve gone wrong. Be honest and open as you share. Then, ask God to forgive you and remind you that your sins are forgiven because of Jesus.
