“Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed” James 5:16a. Have you ever received a confession of sin? Did you hear with grace and compassion? Did you keep in confidential? Did you affirm forgiveness? The above verse is little practiced but greatly needed. Believers need someone to whom they can bare their souls. We need spiritual mentors, who will hear and understand and give us grace and encouragement to go on. We are a kingdom of priests, you know.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
