confession

I had a thought. Just one. They can be so fleeting :)

I've been wrong about confession. I heard all those hyms and saw the alter calls and thought Salvation was about us stumbling our way home. And although I still think that's part of it. I know there's more.

It's not all about us and our inadequacies.
It's about God. It's about us making the first move to know Him.
Here's how it goes.

God, this is who I am. I am impatient, headstrong and sometimes impulsive and cranky.
Who are you?
God then wraps me in His arms and shows me.
He is a creator, an inventor, a healer, a provider, a teacher, a counselor, and a friend.
The more I seek to know Him, the more He reveals. It's almost as if He's shy. But He's not. He knows I would run away of I saw and felt all of His power, intention and knowledge at once. So instead, he goes at my pace.
But first, I have to start the conversation. Sometimes, confession is a good place to start.
