Be Reconciled

"I said, 'I confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and you forgave the guilt of my sin." (Psalm 32:5)

How true that the Lord forgives our sins and remembers them no more once confessed.  In Reconciliation He cleanses us of our sins and blesses us with restored grace.  We should turn to Him often and seek His forgiveness.  It awaits us and is there for us.  It is the Lord's joy to pour forth His mercy and love and forgive every transgression.  There is nothing He will not forgive.

As soon as we sin, we should turn to Jesus for forgiveness.  If we turn to Him in Reconciliation He will wipe our souls clean.  Once we are forgiven we need to let go of our guilt and walk joyfully in the assurance that God has forgiven us in His infinite mercy.  God loves us and wants us to walk in His grace with peace and joy, wisdom and understanding.  Let's not persist in feeling guilty or unforgiven, but walk humbly with the dignity of a loved, redeemed, forgiven child of God.

Prayer:

Lord, when I sin help me to turn immediately to You for forgiveness. Inspire me to go to the sacrament of Reconciliation often so I can walk in Your grace.  Help me to give You all the guilt and shame I feel over my sins and help me to openly and humbly receive all the mercy and love You pour out on me through forgiveness.  Thank You, Lord.  Amen.
