Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord,” and you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
-Psalm 32:5(NLT)
CONFESSION ERASES GUILT
A poem and essay by ILMA
What sins have you committed that made you remorseful?
How long have you suffered from being shameful?
If you confess your sins, your guilt will be eradicated
If you deny your wrongdoing, you will be convicted.
Confession is an act of courage and humility
It brings you to a place of peace and victory
If you admit your sins, you will reap purity
If you hide it, you will be deprived of integrity.
________________________________________
Many Christians do not realize how merciful and loving our heavenly Father is. When Jesus was asked how many times should a believer forgive, he replied seventy times seven which means infinitely. Because of the original sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve, we naturally feel shame when we disobey. Prior to their sin, they had no guilt. They always had peace and joy. When they disobeyed, the enemy’s voice made them feel guilty and full of shame. They hid from God and didn’t confess their sins. God confronted them instead.
The bible tells us the benefit of confession. It cleanses us from guilt and brings us peace. It removes our guilt and shame and re-unites us with God.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for always being merciful to me.
REFLECTION
What results do you get whenever you confess your sins?

For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believed that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. – Romans 3:25(NLT)
MADE RIGHT BY CHRIST’S BLOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
How can man resist’s his natural tendency to be wicked?
Why do we usually want to do what is restricted?
Is it doing good works that makes one overcome evil?
Or is it fighting and arguing openly with the devil?
God sent Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins and transgressions
His blood erased our offenses and brought us close to salvation
People are made right with God when we believe in Christ’s blood
Why don’t you turn away from sin, obey and seek only God?
________________________________________
In the beginning, Adam and Eve had everything they ever wanted. Their life was very easy. They didn’t have to work hard. God provided everything that they could ever want or imagine. They were given all the animals to dominate and were provided trees and plants to get their nourishment. When they disobeyed God’s prohibition with the tree of good and evil, their lives changed. They became impure and guilt and shame began to fill their hearts. We all inherited that shame, guilt and impurity.
The bible tells us that we can only be made right by the blood of Jesus because his sacrifice on the cross was the perfect example of unconditional love.
PRAYER
Lord, let me learn to “let go” of shame and guilt.
REFLECTION
How has Christ’s blood cleansed you of shame and guilt?

Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean and our bodies have been washed with pure water. -Hebrews 10:22 (NLT)
SPRINKLED WITH CHRIST’S BLOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever guilt knocks on your heart
Confess the sin, so you can have a new start
You are made right with the blood of Jesus
Run to Christ so you can be made righteous.
If you go into God’s presence and trust him
Your guilty conscience will be cleaned
God never condemns you but he convicts
The enemy on the other hand, wants to trick.
________________________________________
For many years of my life, I had a very guilty conscience. I picked up feeling guilty from a young age when people around me would use emotional blackmail to make me do things that they want me to do when I decline. I got drawn to people who made me feel guilty of a lot of things as I became an adult. I suffered a lot because I was just swirled around in a cycle of self-loathe and judgment. The church I went to for many years also used guilt to indoctrinate me and many other members of the congregation. The bible says that we have to go right into God’s presence so he can cleanse us from guilt by Christ’s blood.
PRAYER
Lord, help me never to feel guilty but only convicted by you.
REFLECTION
Where do you think guilt comes from?

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me. All my guilt is gone. – Psalm 32:5 (NLT)
CONFESSION REMOVES GUILT
A poem and essay by ILMA
How long will you hide your sin and feel guilty?
Keeping it a secret will give a foothold to the enemy
When God’s spirit reveals and convicts you
Run to Him so that your mind will be renewed.
If you confess your sins, your guilt will be gone
It will bring you peace and make you closer to His Son
Listen and accept correction for it will keep you close to Jesus
Run to God’s throne because he considers you precious.
There were many years of my life spent rebelling and disobeying. I couldn’t even remember why I was doing it. It just became automatic to me to fend for myself and disagree because that is where I was able to exercise power. Since I was unseen and powerless in many aspects of my life as I was growing, it became a coping mechanism to go through a difficult childhood.
The bible tells us that confession removes guilt. When you stay guilty, you give the devil a chance to keep you bonded to sin.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to confess as soon as you convict me.
REFLECTION
How can you be free from guilt?
