«He who covers up his sins will never prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.» Proverbs 28:13
Are you afraid to tell the truth? Ah! Many children misbehave and then hide the bad things they have done because they are afraid to get in trouble. But it is very bad to hide or lie.
Children are not the only ones who lie and hide their mistakes. Many adults do it too. Acting like this is harmful. It is better to tell the truth, even if it is uncomfortable at first. In the end, there is a feeling of relief.
Solomon said that those who hide their mistakes and can’t say: “I did something wrong,” will not receive forgiveness. Jesus becomes sad when we hide what we have done from Him because He loves us and always wants to forgive us. But He can only do this when we ask for forgiveness and don’t hide our mistakes.
Let’s practice!
Are you hiding something from your mom or dad? Tell them and ask for forgiveness.
