Confession is never easy.

 

But when he came to himself, he said, "How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.’” And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his servants, “Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” And they began to celebrate.    Luke 15:17-24 (ESV)

Confession is always the right “thing” to do. When we make a mistake, we go to those we have wronged and admit our wrong. If those we confess to know what to do with our confession, we will experience forgiveness and freedom.

Confession is never easy and is always appropriate. Those who love God should be good confessors and joyful forgivers.
