If our insight and understanding were stronger, we would see the hidden troubles and pains of those around us, as well as the evil in their lives. This would alarm us or even make us shiver. So many people carry secret burdens, like porters carting heavy loads. But our eyes are not loving enough; we cannot read peoples' faces to realise the meaning of their wrinkled brows, their tired eyes or their sad faces.

We are glad to know that God Almighty watches over us and cares for us, more than we do for ourselves. God cares for us and wishes that we would remain ever in the circle of His mercy. He calls us to look to Him and to believe that He takes pleasure in us and accepts us.

Are you God's enemy? We are truthful when we say that our sins have separated us from Him. He is holy and must punish our sins by death and condemnation. On the day of judgment sinners will go to hell.

How can we be saved? What can we do to become guiltless in the sight of God after having committed countless sins? How can we escape the enslaving power of sin? Everyone of us needs answers to these questions, for we all have sinned and live far away from God our creator.

That is an alarming title for a little tract, yet striking, for no one has been able to overcome sin. How, then can we insist that victory over sin is possible?

Dear friend, God loves you, and desires to make you clean. Don't delay, but thank Him for the grace He offers.
