Today’s reading is 1 John 1
“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because John says, “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” How tempting is it to fashion our own God? We want to be with God, but not necessarily obey Him. That somehow, we know better than He does as to what is best for us. He loves us and wants to give us the fruit of the Spirit(love, joy, peace…Gal 5:22), but will not force us to obey Him. Please pray that we and our friends seek to walk in the light today in all we do. Please pray for Wes and Brian’s group.
