Thought: Is Confession and Forgiveness a Priority?

Blessed is the one

whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man

against whom the LORD counts no iniquity,

and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent,

my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

For day and night

Your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was dried up

as by the heat of summer.

I acknowledged my sin to You,

and I did not cover my iniquity;

I said, "I will confess

my transgressions to the LORD,"

and You forgave

the iniquity of my sin.  

{Psalm 32:1-5}
