Default Admitting Our Faults

Admitting Our Faults

If God already knows our faults, why do we need to admit them? God, of course, needs no extra information from us in order to know what is going on within our hearts. The admission of our faults is more for our sake than for his. We need to be forgiven, but how can we be open to forgiveness if we cannot admit the need?

Healing can only be experienced by those who are able to admit their need for it. What remains hidden and unacknowledged in ourselves cannot be healed. We cheat ourselves by thinking that our wrongdoing can be hidden. It cannot be. The poison of deliberate faults and sins infects us even on an unconscious level, and we come to know its effects through feelings of guilt, unhappiness, and anger toward others. The poisonous effects can only be healed through an admission of guilt which allows God's ever present forgiveness to touch us.

I know there is no easy way out, Lord, and that I can't avoid facing my guilt. It's only through my honest admission of sin that I can be healed and forgiven. Help me to be honest.

Focus Your Day
