Not Guilty? Honestly?

Yes, what joy for those
    whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,
    whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
Psalm 32:2 
 
You've heard the oath witnesses take when they are called to the stand in court. "I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God."  Yesterday, we talked about our accuser who loves to accuse us before God.  And guess what another one his lies would be?  Telling us that we can HIDE our sin from God and not have to declare it.  You see, God's grace is available for us, but we have to be completely honest with Him!  Anything less is a lie!
 
Let me share something with you, there are times when my sins are so bad that I am embarrassed to admit to God, who already knows the truth, that I committed those sins.  However, God's love for me is such that He reminds me that "the TRUTH shall set you free" and there is NOTHING I can ever do that will change how much He loves me.  And, when I finally admit it, God's love fills me to overflowing and the stress of trying to hide it is washed away by the Blood of Christ.
 
We have a choice: Listen to the lie, or rely on the TRUTH!
