my confessions

I'm a sinner. I was born into a sinful world and I fall to sinful temptations.
I want to be holy and righteous in God's eyes, but I constantly fall short. I want to love the Lord with ALL of my heart but am often tempted by other consuming things. I want to bring glory to God but I fail. I want to follow in Jesus' footsteps and live a sinless life, but I yet I sin.


Scripture says, "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." {James 5:16} So here I am, confessing my sins to God above and to my brothers and sisters in Christ so that they can pray for me and that God will forgive my sins.


I have outrightly lied. I have lied by omission. I have cheated. I have lusted. I have been angry. I have hated. I have judged. I have no helped when I should have. I have boasted. I have been proud. I have spoke without thinking. I have coveted. I have been foolish. I have cursed. I have stolen. I have been disobedient. I have envied. I have not forgiven. I have done good things but for the wrong reasons. I have not loved myself. I have not loved my enemies. I have broken commandments. I've been negative. I have dishonored. I have not always placed God number one in my life. I have sinned so much more. 


I'm a sinner. I am unworthy of God's love, yet he loves me anyway. I am unworthy of God's forgiveness, yet He forgives me anyway. "And I will forgive their wrongdoings, and I will never again remember their sins." [Hebrews 8:12]
