Bright, Pretty Things: "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But, if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus the Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." 1John 2:1-2 This verse has nothing to do with the beach, but I just read it while gazing at the beach, so whatever 😉 it is truly life-changing. Yes, it's the very basics of the Gospel, but somehow it captured my attention today and I am blown away by the grace of God, not just for me, but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD.
