The Lord knows we are spiritual and natural beings and that we need to physically, out-loud, express our wrong-doings. Otherwise they just fester inside. Confession is such a new beginning, a starting point to begin again.

In my born again Churches I have only ever heard someone admit a sin once (and instantly said "but God forgives" which took away from the magnitude of what he was admitting!). I try to make sure I confess each time I pray, or at least take one good prayer a day to confess my sins. It does draw you nearer to Him as you can see just how weak you are. I would love, if Christians, confessed their sins more openly! Love that (James 4:8) will have to put it in the scripture memory group I run, which you'd be welcome to join if you'd like!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
