God has a "Yes-face!"

By Hazel Holland

One day Thomas Jefferson and some of his friends were riding on horseback cross-country. They came to a stream that was flooded and had to cross it. At the water's edge was a man who was traveling on foot, obviously waiting for someone to help him across the swollen stream.

He waited at the edge until several of the party crossed and then asked the President to help him across. Jefferson took him on the back of his horse and carried him across the stream. On the other side, one of the men asked, "Tell me, why did you select the President for this favor?" The man answered, "I didn't know he was the President. All I know is that on some faces is written the answer 'no' and on some the answer 'yes.' His face said 'yes!' "

Here's what I want you to know today: God has a yes-face!  When you confess your sins to Him He is faithful and just to forgive you.  He removes your guilt and your sins from you forever! 

"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness" (1 John 1:9).   

"He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west" (Psalm 103:12).
