Genesis 6:6
A part from God, human behavior degenerates into total wickedness. But the Bible tells us that God grieves over fallen humanity, suggesting that God still loves us even though we are sinful. He would not grieve if he did not long for us to obey him. His love for us is so great that he even sent his own Son to die so that we might be reunited with him. We dare not neglect so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3). Let us examine our life for sin, which grieves God, and let us confess it, knowing that our loving Father will forgive us and remember it no more.

Prayer and Praise
MERCIFUL GOD, you take away the sins of the world. You despise sin but love sinners, eagerly desiring their repentance so that you may show them compassion. Help us to grieve over our failures as you do, and in so doing may we turn from evil to good. By your grace we ask these things. Amen
