Thought of the Day !!

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD "— and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Psalm 32:5 (NIV)

They say that confession is good for the soul. And whoever they are, they're right. But in most cases I would presume that people are talking about a mental or emotional well-being. In other words, when we confess to one another, it can make us feel good.

But confession to God is good for the eternal soul as well. God knows what we've done. He doesn't need us to tell Him. But when we confess we take the first step of repentance and we humble ourselves before God.

Confession can be difficult. When we confess to another person we chance having that person see us differently...and possibly not in the way we would like. But when we confess to God, His perception of us as beloved children will never change.

So confess before God and God will forgive you when you do so with the right attitude of humility and repentance.

In the love of Christ,
