“I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.” Isaiah 43:25 ESV
I would not exactly call it a sin–more of a transgression, especially if he has just had a bath. I am talking about a dog’s habit of investigating the smells near car tires. I understand other dogs will mark the tires, so Famous will find it natural to be attracted to them. But occasionally, he will get a little too close and come away with a black, oily smear across his white muzzle. It is a sure tell of his actions.
I wonder how we would navigate through the day if our skins became blotted with stains from our selfishness, greed, hate, and acts of evil. Would we have to wear robes and masks to hide our evil to the world? Would we seek cosmetics and spas promising to dissolve and fade our marks, or would we begin to practice more “clean” living?
God has the power to forgive our transgressions and forget their consequences. He has the only true power to wash us clean from sin and renew our hearts and souls.
Teach me to walk in the path of righteousness and not in the ways of sin and death.
