This is based on a story from the Book of Genesis. Adam and Eve gave birth to their first to children Cain and Able.

The point of this story, is we can not hide anything from Our Lord and Our Friend. it is also a widely known saying ‘confession is good for the soul’. When I was putting this article together, I received an article on facebook, from my cousin Ruth {one of our guest writers}, the article depicted a lady going to her minister to confess a wrong-doing. The minster’s reply was I already know I read it on facebook. It seems to have become a place, where the saying ‘confession is good for the soul’ is apparently used.

Our Lord and Our Friend doesn’t need that kind of help, he knows everything anyway, and is just waiting for us to come to Him, to relieve us of the burden of any-wrong doing we may have committed.

Our Lord and Our Friend sees us in times, where we are weighed down, by the things we do wrong. He will never just take them from us, but He will prompt us that we need to confess and give them to Him, so we can be free of them.

Cain and Able even though they were brothers, they were two completely different people. Abel was more devoted to The Lord than Cain and brought an offering to the Lord that pleased Him. Cain’s offering, however, did not find favor with The Lord. Cain grew angry and downcast.

The Lord warned Cain that sin was crouching at his door and desired to control Him, Sin can do that, if we take our eyes off Our Lord and Our Savior. Cain gave into sin and killed his brother Abel. The Lord asks Cain where Abel was? The Lord already knew, but was prompting Cain to confess what He had done.

We can’t hide anything from God. we were created to be sons and daughters of Our Loving creator God, but because of sin {wrong-doing against Him}, some are now living like orphans and slaves.

Sins {wrong-doings} separate us fro a loving God, Confession and acceptance of all He has done for us, gives us adoption into His family, and sets us free from the power of sin, that will always tries to separate us from Him.

God Bless.
