Why is it so hard for us to admit it when we are wrong?   It's pride. We offer excuses.  We try to justify ourselves.  Or we just try to forget and hope the incident will fade away from our memory.  

The Bible says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." You've gotta humble yourself and 'fess up.  Not just be sorry, but be repentant.  Ready to change.

That sounds like a great plan.  It costs nothing and you get everything you need in return.  A new start.  It says "All" unrighteousness.  What a deal.  Clean again.  Eternal life.

"Cast all your care upon Him; for he cares for you." 1Peter 5:7

Hard to believe, but true.  God loves us.  Why in the world would he become a man and sacrifice himself for someone he didn't love?

"Cast your burden upon the Lord and he will sustain you: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved."  Psalm 55:22

And why would he support and sustain us for any other reason but love.

I love the promises of God.  They are so encouraging.  Look at that last verse.  He will never let his righteous children be moved.  He will hold on to us.

"And I (Jesus) give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."  John 10:28-29

Good grief people.  Here you have something priceless for the taking.  Swallow your pride and accept it.  It's free.
