Read through the Bible in 2 Years: 1 Corinthians 5-6

Oh, precious reader, I don’t know you, but the Lord does. I don’t know what skeletons you have hidden in your closet, but the Lord does.

Likewise, you don’t really know me, what all has gone on behind closed doors or in the recesses of my mind in the fifty years I’ve drawn breath, but the Lord does.

All I can say is, praise His Name for the “such were some of you” promise of 1 Corinthians 6:11. I have been washed, sanctified, justified, redeemed, forgiven, and made new in the blood of Jesus Christ. Because of my testimony of who I was, it grieves me so very deeply to hear of professing Christians who are still walking in sin. People calling themselves followers of Christ and yet refusing to repent and break free from the chains of sin.

Whatever form your lust takes, whether fornication or adultery, pornography or homosexuality, gluttony or anger, jealousy or greed, Jesus says, “Leave those things behind and follow me. No one can serve two masters. It’s either My way or your way. Which way are you heading? You know full well that those things are not good for you. As My child, you must put them far away from you. In Me, you are no longer your own. I have purchased you with my blood, and you have become a temple where my Holy Spirit dwells. My Holy Spirit will not share His temple with idols. Now clean out every little corner of that temple of yours, so my Spirit can dwell fully in you. Glorify Me in your body, in how you think, in how you eat, in how you speak, in how you live, and it will be well.”

Heavenly Father, thank You for your grace and forgiveness. Thank You for causing me to be born again. Thank You for washing me clean and making me new, giving me new desires and a new name. As Your daughter, I want to be made more like Your Son. I want to have a pure heart and mind. I want to glow. I want to reflect Your glory as only a clean mirror can. I want to be filled with Your Spirit, Your presence, Your peace and love and joy. May others see You in me. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
