“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.”
Psalm 32:5 KJV
When we carry things that we have done that were not the right thing to do or say, those things create in us a burden. When we carry burdens, we find ourselves weighed down to the point that our lives lack the capacity to love, to share and to be joyful. Burdens always take our ability to live as God intended out of us and limit our potential for happiness.
So what does God say we should do to rid ourselves of these burdens? He tells us to confess! Confession allows us to bring our failures to God and seek his forgiveness. Such confession removes burdens, restores our relationship with God and ushers in his kingdom blessings. When we confess our sins before God, he is faithful to forgive. We all need confession, a cleansing if you will for we all fall short of the mark God has set.
Confession not only removes the sin from our lives but helps to restore our spiritual and physical health. Don’t carry those burdens any longer. Go to the Lord and confess your sin and walk upright and restored as God intended us to. God loves us so we are assured he will hear our confession and forgive us!
In Christ
