The world may tell us that sin is just an old fashioned idea, but when we ask ourselves if we would like to be treated the way we are planning on treating someone else, we get the answer. We never have to carry around the burden of our sins. Confession of our sins to a loving and forgiving God removes the burden from us and brings us a renewed sense of joy. Sometimes it helps to seek out a minister or priest if our guilt seems overwhelming. If not a religious figure, then perhaps a professional counselor or trusted friend is called for. No matter what road we choose, we should learn from David's example as well as from the example of Peter and Paul, and no sin is too great to be forgiven. Today is a good day to lay down whatever burdens you or I might be carrying and allow God to forgive us and give us that clean heart He has waiting for us.
