God Sees What's Going On.

We all get into a position where we have sinned, but we do not want to talk about that sin. We feel either feel guilty or we are embarrassed to think that anyone would find out.We are so quick to point out other's mistakes, but when someone points out ours we try to hide. It is a fact written in the Bible, that we have sinned. We are all sinners, but someone else has already paid for our sins. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16. That verse is so commonly known and it becomes routine. It is so much more than that though. When we sin, we are embarrassed and we feel guilt but we get to live. Jesus died FOR our sins so that we had the chance to live our eternal life.

I will be the first to admit that every single day I have sin. Now, when I am caught in the sin, I am not going to admit it as freely as I do now. Think about children, when they get caught taking a cookie, they try and hide the cookie, and pretend like they haven't done anything wrong, even though Mommy sees that cookie. It's obvious that Mom that the child took something, but they try and let the kid admit that they have done wrong. We try to ignore our sin, and pretend that God doesn't see it, but He does, and He is waiting for us to admit that we are wrong.

We try to make excuses and find ways to get out of trouble. God can see everything that we do even when we think that we are alone. He hears every thought that we have. The only way to make yourself right with God is to confess to Him our sin and ask to be forgiven. I was reminded of that this week during Bible study. We try to justify in our minds, the sin that we have committed. Hiding sin will put a block in our Christian walk.

This next week, make it an effort to admit your sin and find forgivness from the Lord. It won't be an easy task but it is an important one.

We must first confess that we have done something wrong, and then we can ask for forgiveness from the Lord.
