James 5:16 (NIV)
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous
person is powerful and effective.
To confess our sins means we do two things with our sin: 1)
we recognize sin for what it is in God's eyes and 2) we get rid of our secrets
and are honest with another Christian about our weakness, vulnerabilities,
failures, and sins. James' language is powerful. He mentions that this
confession doesn't just bring forgiveness, it also brings healing.
Thought for today: Do I communicate with God in complete
honesty?
