The Weeping Man

O Lord don’t rebuke me for all my wrong, I’ve lost my joy, my peace and song, My soul is vexed, and my flesh feels raw, My eyes have wept until they are sore; God has heard my weeping and cries, As up to Him my prayers will rise.

    We all have times in our lives when we feel like David did when he wrote these words. We all do wrong things and know that we have displeased God (and often man as well). We have to confess our sin before we have fresh and free communion with God again, but it isn’t enough to just confess to God, we have to confess to those we have had the disagreement with as well. Otherwise bitter thoughts will continue to rankle and grow and our fellowship with others will be marred. It is wonderful to know that God knows all about us, and how we are feeling at any given time. So we might as well tell Him and receive His full and free forgiveness (1 John 1:9)
