I really like the idea that God never abandons us. When we think God is not there it's not because He is not with us, it's because we have chosen to be away from Him. He is ALWAYS there.
Confession is hard. To speak our sin out loud and to another person is hard. So I like many avoid confession. I avoid the sacrament b/c I'm so ashamed of what I've done. The consistency is in two means: we all do it and do it again and again AND God keeps forgiving us if we ask for it. I have never enjoy going to confession and prefer that the priest not see my face. I have much anxiety leading up to the sacrament and no matter what I every time and always feel so wonderful and amazing after I am done. It's just a cleanliness that can't be described.
The problem with the world today is sin. The problem with everything is SIN SIN SIN. it's terrible and frustrating. It keeps us from being close to God. It tears relationships and causes turmoil. Sin is the reason the world is like it is.
POINT TO PONDER: Sin makes you unhappy.
DUH. I know it does and I keep doing it. Repeating some of the same sins over and over again.
VERSE TO LIVE:
"Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing sprit." PSAML 51:12
QUESTION TO CONSIDER:
What are your three most frequent sins?
Well of course I'm not going to write them here. I will think about them and pray for the grace to not sin anymore.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me and save me from my sins.
