But confession and repentance, has opened doors to God that I never ever knew existed. Being able to take off the robe of sin and be transparent to God is huge. It's a wonderful experience but also one that doesn't come easy. I need to be faithful to God, in all ways ... which then reflects in my actions as a human being His love to others. I am not perfect, I am not always faithful to God but when I am, I so feel His presence. I WANT to be faithful to him every minute of every day; oh God, do I ever! So, I'm trying to create habits in Him. Reading my bible is a big barrier for me ... but when I make it a habit to be in His word everyday ... it's second nature. Confessing to my husband that I had a bad day and that's why I yelled at him. Telling him that I'm sorry, repenting and asking for forgiveness also needs to become a habit ... not the yelling part but the confession and repentence part. That's all for now ... I love God and want to please Him in all that I do ... ALL that I do!
