Parents know all


1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

As kids, we would do something wrong then try to hide it from our parents.  It never worked though. They always seemed to find out.  Of course, how much trouble I would get in would depend upon what I had done.  Now, as a parent, I find myself often telling my son that if something happens, he will get in less trouble if he tells me right away, rather than me having to find out on my own. 

While God is all knowing and we can’t hide anything from him, I believe he feels the same as any parent in the sense that he wants us to come to him and tell him what we have done wrong.  When we confess our sins to him, he will forgive us.

Today I encourage you to be open with God and confess your sins.
