You're Busted Part 1

I am thinking it is about that time of the year, you know the time when you finally get busted for everything you have been hiding, all of those hidden sins you thought you were always going to get away with but forgot to realize that God knows everything. Just take a deep breathe and then breathe out, doesn’t that just feel good? All the joys that come from truth are not evident at this moment but at some point they will be. You feel as though you are in a pit and everyone is turning their backs on you. Disappointment is a part of life and that is something you need to understand but sometimes there are consequences for your hidden sin becoming known. Because of course as you have always been taught there are always consequences for sin. But hey this could be a good thing, because now you have to rely on Christ much more, and he is your rock and your salvation.

I am not sure what this sin could be, it could range from Adultery, to Alcohol, to pride, to seeking acceptance instead of seeking Christ, gossip, slander, hatred, jealousy, or stealing. There is a list of what it could be that you have finally got busted with. Now understand I am talking more about being busted by friends and your peers then God because God clearly always knew.

But I write this so that you can be encouraged. Jesus never gave up on you and it is important to be broken before him so that he can change you into the person he wants you to be. And it is important to understand that sometimes it does take people time to trust you again. I understand that it should not be this way and that Christians should embrace their brothers and sisters in times of need but it a lot of time does not happen.
Here is my recommendation and my recommendation comes directly from the bible:

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16

It is important to just come clean with it. That is what I attempt to do with this blog and with people that I seek accountability with. Sometimes people are given a much worse name because when their sins are beginning to be seen by people they still try to stay hidden and silent about them. Just seek redemption and forgiveness from others and I believe you will find out that less people are trying to avoid you then if you were trying to avoid talking about.

This is part 1 of 2, I had another post I wanted to post but I felt that this needed to go first. I truly love you all and I pray you seek Christ and the redemption he gives and even when it is tough do not fret because He will always love you.
