Why is it that whenever sin occurs people run away. I think it’s because we're so full of shame and guilt that we just completely avoid it. It’s a terrible habit - because God loves us no matter what right? But that’s easier said than done. I personally find it very hard to believe that God would love and forgive our sins so easily. I mean, why would He even have a speck of love for sinners like us. We have done so much wrong and hurt Him deeply numerous times, and yet He's still here; even as we profess our sins to him - even as we read his words of devotion to us. I don't know why it’s so hard for me to understand that (I’m such a loser). Everytime I commit any form of sin, big or small, I feel completely and utterly ashamed of myself and end up running away from him. I think that's one of the many reasons why my walk with God has been so slow and delayed. I know that all would be right again if I just ask for forgiveness but it still leaves that feeling of remorse. I guess I should be grateful afterall that I have gone through and He's still eternally faithful. I'm completely thankful and blessed; it’s just so hard for me understand why God shows so much mercy on us. I guess I'm at fault as well. My walk with God hasn't been one of the best; it’s rather slow and still at its noob stage. If I have had better commitment and patience, I would have been able to answer my own question.
Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Psalm 32:5
