How many of you as a kid did something that you weren't supossed to and tried to hide it? Maybe you broke something of your parents. Maybe you were mean to a younger sibling. Maybe you took something that wasn't yours. What ever it was, I bet it didn't stay hid for long. Somehow mom or dad found out and boy o boy were you ever in trouble. Happened to me bunches.
Our habit of trying to hide our mistakes or maybe I should say sin, never left us. We all want to keep private things private. We don't want anyone to find some things out. However, in the long run it just doesn't work like that. Paul tells them Hebrews in the letter to them that nothing is hidden from God. (Heb. 4:13) He knows every act, every word, every thought. We just can not hide anything from Him. We must confess it all to Him and He is faithful and just to forgive our sins. (1 John 1:9)
Someone once said that confession is good for the soul. How true that is! Confession is how we get forgiveness. Tonight, I ask you have you confessed it all to Jesus! Give Him all you sin, all your mistakes, all your habits and He will take those all from you and give you a fresh start, you can begin your new life in Him. Let Jesus transform you into who you are meant to be in Him.
