Confession involves an open conversation between ourselves and God. We must freely admit our sin and concur with God's assessment of it if we are to obtain forgiveness. Open conversations about our weakness and failures are never easy but God loves us perfectly and wants nothing more than our success in the Christian life. Speaking openly with God in prayer puts our heart in the place where we can receive God's provision. We all need forgiveness and cleansing from time to time and what a blessing to know it is available!
God is faithful which means He is absolutely trustworthy to do what He says he will do. When we go to God and confess our sin He always forgives and cleanses us. God is always ready to lift us up, dust us off and make us brand new! There will never be hesitation on His part in this process! God is the good Father who waits in hopeful expectation for His prodigal children to come home. When His children do turn from their wayward path and head home He runs to welcome us.
I would like to encourage the hurting and "sin-sick among" us today with these words: God loves you lavishly and desires to make you brand new. This offer of forgiveness and cleansing is always available no matter what you have done.
James
