Lent ~ Day Twelve

{Psalm 51:2 - Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.}

We are all sinners...and we must confess, ask for forgiveness, and we will be forgiven...

{Luke 18: 9-14 - To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 

The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 

“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’    

“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”}
