Confession...Day 8

Honesty time....I have a hard time admitting that I am wrong.  Feel free to ask Mala as she will let you know quickly that I always think I am right.  The truth is, I am wrong a lot...a lot more than I want to be.  Either due to sin, pride or just plain stupidity!  I not only have to confess to a holy, perfect God, but I also have to ask forgiveness from others.

1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

God is faithful and just and is a cleaner!  I am so thankful that He will cleanse my dirty sin from me!  Confession is the key and must begin with me as an individual.  God can not force it, just like you can not force someone else to ask for forgiveness when they have hurt you.  

Two things to do today...
1. Ask God to forgive you of your sin.  When is that last time you have asked?
2. Seek forgiveness from someone else that you may have hurt.

I need to be forgiven every single day! I thank GOD that He does forgive me when I ask for forgiveness! But not only does He just forgive me, He FORGETS what I have done! HE doesn't bring it back up ever again. I need to forgive and ask for forgiveness from others today!
