Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way

"Clean is clean"--depending on who's speaking! If it's my sons claiming they've "cleaned" their rooms, clean is NOT clean in MOM'S eyes...and when they hung him on the cross, he was not clean either. He was a thief condemned to die--but not for long. For during those excrutiating hours, he recognized Someone hanging next to Him who in a split second of time would forever change his sentence--not man's but God's. Men still saw him as the dirty thief; Jesus saw him as a clean child of God. That's grace, God's amazing grace!

And it avails for you today. For the second you confessed to your Lord, you were forgiven. The second you accepted, you were received. Give no thought to the tempter's taunts. He's a "liar, the father of lies and the truth is not in him." Your past is forgiven, forgotten and forever washed away. You're cleansed and declared righteous according to heaven's records. You are clean--heart, soul, body, mind and spirit--and "clean is clean" in GOD'S eyes! That's what really counts. Believe it--and have a praise-filled day!

Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word

"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise
(Luke 23: 42,43)."

"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you (John 15:3)."

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9)."

Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day

"Lord, I've confessed it a million times--and it continues to haunt me. You heard me the FIRST time--there's no need to keep feeling the condemnation of the enemy of my soul. Lord, I refuse the harrassment and accusations--I am clean, by Your Blood--and like the thief on the cross, I receive that perfect cleansing this Holy Week, In Jesus Name, Amen."
