He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. (Proverbs.28.13 NKJV)
Burying a seed under the soil does not destroy it. In this case, one sin or fault buried or covered is more or less covering a seed in the soil. A time comes when it will definitely sprout, not just as it was but is a more magnified manner.
It's on this ground that the Bible is telling us that He who covers his sins will not prosper. Indeed, in the beed to cover one sin, another is committed. Concealing faults from other people does not conceal it from the heart and God. The Budden of guilt will always weigh down the heart. A burdened heart never prospers.
The good news is: confessing and forsaking faults will always give way for mercy both from God and fellow men. While it is maturity for a Christian to overlook the faults of the other, it should be in the heart of the other person to acknowledge and confess their fault.
The derailed side of this generation is that it does not even want to admit that they are on the wrong. Everybody looks right in their own eyes.
Accepting our faults does not remain between man and God alone, it should be the same between man and neighbor. Confession alone is medicine to a guilty soul, forsaking the fault is the power that keeps you free.
Hallelujah!
