Spiritual Shift 19: From Covering up Sin to Coming into the Light

Description: Put another way, it helps us shift from self-protection to vulnerability. We humbly confess our sins to God and to others. We refuse to let our ‘bones waste away’ under the weight of unconfessed sin. We choose not to hide our sin; instead, we acknowledge our failures and humbly ask forgiveness from those we have harmed, whether intentionally or unintentionally. We take off all deception and put on truth, even when it hurts. Scriptures: 1 John 1:5-10; Psalm 32:1-7; Psalm 51; Colossians 3:1-14 Select one of these scriptures and meditate on it. Prayer Prompts: Take a moment to invite the Spirit to give you a fresh understanding of the kindness of God. With that in mind select a scripture, allowing the Spirit of God to probe your heart. His kindness is the safest refuge you will ever find. Ask Jesus if there is anything that is hidden in your heart, that He wants to bring into the light. Follow His lead as He reveals; repenting, forgiving, and receiving His cleansing grace.
