“Do not be ashamed to confess your sins, do not struggle against the current of the river.” Sirach 4:26
An honest confession of sin requires much courage. Many of us are held back from confession of sin and admission of guilt because of false shame. When we fail to admit our sins, we are in fact trying to swim against the current of the mighty river of truth, which is a foolish, harmful and futile exercise. The sooner we confess our sins, the sooner we will experience divine grace and spiritual freedom.
