Confession

Here’s what’s cool: Admitting you were wrong. (Warren Buffett, wealthy philanthropist)

This is no. 6 in Buffett’s list of cool things. It may be cool, but we don’t see a lot of it. This is because it’s so hard to do. Do you remember a TV situation comedy a few years ago when the Fonz just couldn’t say, “I was w-w-r-r-ong”? It’s often pride that keeps us from admitting our errors. Yet, doing so can restore a broken relationship as well as give us a great sense of freedom.

I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done. (Psalm 38:18)

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. (James 5:16)
