The shadow hanging over me [ 1 John 1 v7 ]

One of the items on the news,is about a portrait of  ex-President Clinton,he has taken exception to this portrait because the artist has painted a shadow.There is speculation that this shadow represents a dark incident in Mr Clinton's past. While it is denied that this may be so,the fact of the matter is ,that wrong adulteress relationship that he had with a certain lady ,will always throw a shadow over his life. When men of high office
commit wrongs,it follows them as a dark shadow,Peter Pan lost his shadow,but that is just fiction,real life is different,the shadow of our wrongs
remain,even long after we have gone.
  So that's it?,no its not it,behold I show you a better way,Gods way,forgive-
ness,restoration,mercy,if,yes if,when we fall we seek the mercy of God,our
sins will be forgiven,not only forgiven ,but forgotten.It is as if we had never sinned,it is called justification,the scriptures tells us,/Therefore being justified by faith,we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ[Romans 5 v1]/.The scriptures tell us who shall let any charge against Gods elect,it is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth?,it is Christ that died,yea rather that is risen again,who is even at the right hand of God,who also maketh intercession for us[Romans 8 v33-34]
                               A prayer
     Dear God we thank you that through Christ we need not live in shadow land,through Him we can walk daily in the light. Amen
