How are you?

The Problem of Sin and Goodness, part 2 by Craig B. How are you? How are you doing? What have you been doing? Were you good enough? In what areas might you be hiding….covering up what you see as wrong or shameful in your life? • Past sins that happened to you? • Past sins you committed? • Current sins out of control? How might you be avoiding people or relationships because of fear of being found out? Ask God to show you ways in which you are hiding from Him, and others. Ask God to give you faith to trust Him for the good in your life and come out of hiding so you can receive His love…through others.

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge…. 7. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow. 8. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice…. 10. Create in me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. 13.
