"Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy." -Proverbs 28:13 (NIV)
We likely know someone that that doesn't like to admit mistakes. It can be frustrating and hard to make progress if time is spent denying a problem exists or placing blame instead of searching for solutions and moving on with progress. In our relationship with God, we need to think about how quickly we admit our sin and how we make progress.
God knows us inside and out. He knows our sin and shortcomings. We can fight admitting our sins, but God already knows them. In order to continue to get closer to God, we should admit our sins. It is only when we admit our sins that we can receive God's forgiveness and mercy. Once we confess our sin and trust in God's redeeming forgiveness, we can prosper and become even more than we could be on our own!
Confess your sin, find God's mercy, and get closer to Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your grace and mercy. Help me to always admit my sin and draw closer to You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
