Psalm 32:5 (NRSV)
Read Psalm 32:5 on biblegateway.com
Verse 5Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
Devotion
It’s as simple as that. “I was open. I did not hide. I did not try to cover up the parts of me of which I am ashamed.” (Jack Nicholson calls this “places you don’t talk about at parties.”) The God who knew us before we were in the womb knows what we are: knows what being human is. Thanks be to God for loving us anyway and for forgiving the guilt of our sin.
Prayer
God, you have searched me and know me. Thank you for your unconditional love for me. Amen.
