...and the priest

shall make atonement

            for him

for the mistake that

he made unintentionally,

and he shall be

                forgiven.

          Leviticus 5. 18

(We are imperfect.

We sin.

God knows that.

We cannot save ourselves.

God knows that too.

That is why He gave us

the book of Leviticus.

It is not all about sin.

It is all about

   God's provision

and our need for Him.

God invented forgiveness

   that we may know Him.

Sin always

      costs something,

that which is done

            or left undone,

intentional or

            a mistake.

And His grace

is given to us

at the cost of Jesus

  to cover it all.)

O LORD,

We are reminded this day

of our need for You.

Thank you for Your grace

and forgiveness

and redeeming it all.

It is not our sin

   that defines us

but Your forgiveness

  that makes

  all things new.
