Beloved–

The Word tells me to confess my sins so that I can be forgiven and prosper.

But we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. John 1:9 nlt

Anger and impatience are easy to recognize; jealousy and resentment not so much.  I tend to bury them under the guise of hurt feelings that I need to forgive (with an undoubted pat on the back) rather than recognizing them as sin that needs to be confessed.

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  You can’t whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them. Prov. 28:13 nlt & msg

What I have concluded is that holding one’s self out at arm’s length is very heavy and downright unpleasant.  However, once you get over the initial shock of what you have hidden from yourself, confessed it, the feeling is indescribable.  I was able to say, “have your own way with me, Lord” and really mean it!

I pray for you daily that you can say, have your own way with me, Lord and really mean it.

Luv Ya!
