You Can't Hide Your Sins

Do you know what I like about white out? It can fix your MISTAKES on paper. 
However, it can NOT fix actual MISTAKES that WE make in life. 
The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." 
NO SIN is a SECRET! God sees EVERYTHING! 

Proverbs 5:21-23 "For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He watches all his paths.
22 His own iniquities will capture the wicked,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.
23 He will die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray."  

No matter how hard you TRY to HIDE it, YOU CAN'T! 
I don't know about you but I now feel GUILTY when I SIN.  
I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that it is the Holy Spirit that convicts me when I sin. 
From now on, CONFESS your SINS to God . 
Ask Him to forgive you. 
Then, he will wash you clean of that iniquity and it will never again be remembered. 
It goes into the sea of forgetfulness.

 Micah 7:19 "He will again have compassion on us;
He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea."

When we do that, the enemy likes to strike again. 
He LOVES to make you remember your past regrets and sins. 
The Bible says in John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
 Don't listen to him! 

God wants to make you new! 
He doesn't want you to think about the things that he already forgave you for. 
I am sure that he probably thinks exactly this, "Daughter/ Son, why are you bringing that back up? I already forgave you for that the moment you asked me to." 
It sounds kind of foolish now that you think about it , doesn't it? 

Acts 3:19-21"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, 21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time."

 Repent means to turn away from. 

Pray: "Lord, reveal any hidden sin that I have done. I am sorry for sinning against you. I
confess any and all sins that I have done. Forgive me. Renew a right spirit within me. All of this I ask in your name, Amen!" 

Here's your take away: 
Psalm 32:5 " I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I did not hide;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin."
