Confession Feels Good.

Confession feels good.

I've been wrestling in my relationship with God a lot recently. There was this gap between us that I couldn't breech; a wall I couldn't climb. I thought I needed to figure me out to understand me and God. I thought I needed to analyze my past and dig through deep and complex issues of lessons learned and lessons taught and family tendencies and relational habits.

No.

It was just me and my sin. Plain and simple.

I'm bitter. Bitterness stood between me and the Divine. Where from? I can name a few sources... but that is not the issue. Jesus didn't die for my reasons, He died for my sin. Because sin severs, sin separates, sin dislocates. Sin wrongs what is right and cuts us off from Life Itself. But confession....

Confession realigns me with Jesus. It puts me back at His feet. It makes me agree with Him about the nature of me and the nature of Him. Confession mends, confession reunites, confession heals. Confession says, "see this wall? I built it. On purpose. And I'm sorry."

Confession feels good.
