TO WHOM DO WE CONFESS OUR SINS GOD OR OTHERS

CONFESSION CAN BE EITHER ACKNOWLEDGMENT  OF GUILT OR GLADLY  ACKNOWLEDGING  ALLEGIANCE TO CHRIST.  CONFESSION TAKE THE LID OFF, OPEN  THE WINDOW , OPEN THE  DOOR, REVEALING  WHAT IS WITHIN  SIN OR FAITH.  WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE  THE UGLINESS OF SIN,  IT IS EMBARRASSING AND  SOMETIMES  PAINFUL  TO TAKE THE LID OFF. IRONICALLY, MANY FIND IT ALMOST EQUALLY  EMBARRASSING TO REVEAL THEIR  DEEP-SEATED  FAITH. PERHAPS THE EMBARRASSMENT IS IN  LETTING  OTHERS  SEE DEEP INTO OUR LIVES.  PERHAPS IT IS  A RETICENCE  TO  REVEAL SOMETHING  PERSONAL, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.
