Confession is good for the soul
In my newest book, Wounds into Scars, there is a major section on confession. Confession really is the only way to deal with your sin. But I don't mean telling someone, or acknowledging your sin when someone finds out. I mean confessing to God because that is ultimately where the real issue lies.
An excerpt:
What does God want from you when you sin? He wants you to acknowledge your sin to him. Stop covering it up. Stop making excuses. Stop ignoring your failure. Confess your sin to God. Because every sin is ultimately against God above all. Not against yourself. Or other people. Or your church. First and foremost, your sin is against your God.
So there is a lot of material in the book about how to confess your sin. Even a story of people who refused to confess their sin and how that played out. And a chapter on how to own your sin. How to take responsibility and not blame everyone else.
Healing starts with confession. Confession, much like sin, is really a heart matter. It is about your relationship with God.
Everything starts there.
