Put simply, we cannot live a prosperous life if we hold our sins and transgressions inside. We need Jesus to show us where we've done wrong and trust that he is above the fear, embarrassment, and shame. We must acknowledge the hurt that took place to the person we harmed, and then communicate an action plan as to how you will rebuild the trust so that reconciliation can take place. Like Jesus, do you have a community that you do life with? Do you have others you can confess to so you can receive help while remembering that Jesus is the only one who can forgive your sins? Confession is bringing sin to light so it can no longer have a hold over you and others. It brings freedom and joy so we can live our best life for Christ who lived His best, and suffered the worst for us!

"Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."
Proverbs 28:13
