Read Psalm 32:5
David knew what it was like to hide sin. Silence only brought him deeper sorrow—his heart grew heavy, his body felt the weight of guilt, and he had no peace. Trying to cover up what only God can forgive is like keeping a wound untreated—it only festers and grows worse.
But when David finally confessed, when he humbled himself and laid everything bare before God, healing came. Forgiveness washed over him, and his broken spirit found joy again. That is the power of confession: not that our words earn forgiveness, but that they open the door to God’s mercy in Christ.
The good news is that God is always ready to forgive. His fountain of grace never runs dry. No matter how far we’ve fallen, when we bring our sins honestly before Him, He is faithful to pardon and restore. What once brought shame can become a testimony of God’s amazing grace.
Prayer
Merciful Father, I confess my sins before You. Forgive me for the times I have hidden what I should have brought into the light. Thank You for the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood and the joy of forgiveness. Teach me to run quickly to You in repentance and to live in the freedom of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
