“you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” — Numbers 32:23 NIV

No one really gets away with a crime, especially in this age of forensic science where trace evidence can identify the criminal and tell the story of the crime scene. There is also the fact that the guilt one carries never really goes away. While no one else may know you are guilty, you do. Guilt becomes this constant low-level humming in your brain that builds until you find a way to confess it, because confession is the only way you can get relief from guilt.

Whatever sin or wrong it is that burdens us, we need to find forgiveness so we can get back to normal living. Confession is what brings us forgiveness and the best place to start is with God. When we receive divine forgiveness we can forgive ourselves and others, and finally put our sins behind us.
