It's good for the soul

yuck, I hate this job.


1 John 1:8-10
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.


James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.


apologies with heaving sob
brine washed cheeks
- unpleasant job

friendship rended
now mended
overdue task now tended

joy to come?
renewal started?
softening of the once hard hearted?

at peace with God
at peace with you
confessing sins - so hard to do!

I sometimes wonder if we should confess all sins to one another. Some might make us feel cleaner and received but hurt the other person. Are there sins better kept between you and God?
