John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truthf and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I have a tree in my front yard. My wife planted it over 20 years ago. At first it seemed like it wasn’t growing. It stayed small. My wife’s sister had a tree like it but her’s was big. My wife didn ^(l) t understand why her tree was not growing. She was about to give up and then all of a sudden it started growing. It began to get bigger and bigger. One day I noticed that the limbs where getting too large and hang down in the way of the car being parked in the yard. So, one day I cut some of the limbs. That seemed to work for a while but after awhile the limbs grew back and became a problem again. This reminds me of our sins. Sometimes when we commit sin it does not seem to be a big problem. The sin might seem like a small thing but after a while the sin begins to grow and causes us problems. So we take care of what problems it causes. We later forget about the sin and then later on the problem returns. We stop doing the sin but the wages of the sin has not been dealt with. We did not deal with the root of the problem. Only GOD can forgive sin. GOD only forgives sin through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way our sins are forgiven. You can stop doing the sin but that does not erase the sin. We have to accept Jesus Christ and Repent to be forgiven,

Prayer: GOD I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I also repent of my sins in Jesus name. Amen,
