God tells us to repent. To repent we admit our wrongs because we have to recognize what the wrong is before we can repent because repentance is turning from our wrong and not continuing to do it. Then Jesus tells us to forgive our brother not only 7 times but 7 times 70. We as humans can have a really hard time with this. God held me to this one. I have had to admit a lot of wrongs and ask a lot of forgiveness. Then one night God did something for me I am not sure what He tweaked in me but He made this much easier for me. Since then I have found it much easier to say I messed up, I got it wrong, and how can I fix it? It also feels better emotionally because I don’t try to cover it once I know I have made a mistake. There is peace in the truth.
