My Dear Child,
I am sure you know the function of the eraser, which is to remove from the paper the pencil mistakes or something you did not do very well. Do you know why the eraser manages to remove the pencil marks on from the paper? It is because it contains a material that scrapes a thin layer of the surface. Pencil strokes are always easier to erase than coloured pencil strokes, since the graphite of the pencil, which is like a powder, does not adhere as strongly to the paper fibers, but to the soft material of the eraser. Similarly, God wants to help us keep the sheet of our life white and clean. Therefore, He blots out our sins when we go to Him. “Christ came to take away sins”. 1 John 3:5
With much love,
