The word sin means: “Breaking God’s law. Missing the mark”. The Apostle John told the believers that he wrote God’s instructions to them so that they would not sin. This way, they would always have the proper wisdom and instructions to know how to live pleasing to God in their daily lives. 1 John 2:1 says: “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. Note however that he also taught that we do sin or miss the mark, our advocate, Jesus Christ would intercede for us before the Father. We have a righteous advocate that is ever interceding for us. Be comforted today and know that He is aware of the fact that you are doing your best to live righteously for His glory. Know also that provision has already been made when you sin and miss the mark. Just go before God in humility and ask for forgiveness. Your intercessor is seated on the right hand of the Father, so you are covered by His love and His blood. You don’t have to walk in guilt or condemnation. You are loved and forgiven!

Amen . I realize that my sinful thoughts gets the best of me . Thoughts of retaliation and things I say and do when nothing seems to go right. And then I realize that I should be grateful to be able to change what’s ever troubling me because lots of people have it unimaginable worse . So I pray for them and ask for forgiveness . It’s never good to take your comfort zone for granted .
