You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
John 8:32
When I think of this verse I always think of confession. Often times we get so wrapped up into our day to day tasks we often forget about the life we are leading. There are times when we do not even realize we have sinned because our minds rationalize what we are doing is for the best. When we sit down and really contemplate over our actions we see things differently. It may have been something we have said to someone else, something we did to someone, or an action that has changed our path. Whatever the case may be we truly have to have an open heart and look deep inside. If we see something we could have done differently we should speak up to anyone affected by it. This is freedom. It feels so good when you do this. The other form of freedom I see with this is confessing to God in what we have done. Having the conversation that we messed up are truly sorry and we will try better next time gives your heart a dose of love – God’s love. With God’s love in our hearts it is hard to turn away from truth. He wants us all to love one another and come to him when we have sinned. It sounds easy, but not always. It is so worth it though.
