Proverbs 28:13
13He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
-Proverbs 28:13
What good does concealing sin do when the One whom we have sinned against can see all and knows all? What becomes of such an individual? They become paranoid and they learn to delight in wickedness. They begin to think they can get away with more and push boundaries further and further. They will not prosper. But what of the one who confesses and repents? Will they not have mercy? Indeed they will! Do not attempt to hide or diminish your sin before the Lord. Be swift to confess it and forsake it. Repent and hasten to the Lord. He will give mercy. It does us no good to try to hide ourselves from the Lord in our shame of having done dumb things. He is the only One who can pardon. Run to Him and let the blood of Jesus wash you clean. You will have mercy.
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
