In times of deep regret, it is vital to take ownership of our sin. We are not to hide our iniquities but to bring them before God with humility and sorrow. When we declare our iniquity and express our sorrow for our sin, we open ourselves to God’s transformative power. This is not a moment of self-condemnation but an opportunity for healing. The act of being sorry for our sin is not just an emotional response, but a reflection of a heart that desires to change. It’s a recognition of the harm our actions have caused and a turning back to God in repentance. God promises to forgive those who come to Him in truth and brokenness. When we are truly sorry for our sin, God is faithful to cleanse us and restore us to fellowship with Him. His grace is always available to those who humbly seek it.
Jeremiah 31:9
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them.
Jeremiah 3:22
Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.
Psalms 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psalms 32:5
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
