This short story is by Edgar Allen Poe but this post is not. THe story is about a man who murders someone and buries him under the floorboards. After the police come he hears the sound of the mans heart beating louder and louder until he confeses.
I was thinking about this when it hit me this is like real life. We sin and we try to hide from God, like Jonah but we cant. When we sin we feel guilt but we try to let it go and live out our life. We can't let it go. THis story was written by a man who was very wacko but it has such a relevant truth in it.
Confession is a problem we all struggle with. We can confess to God in private because it's just us and Him. But we fail to confess to people. I struggle with this and I assume you all do.
Like in the story your guilt will overwhelm you and will make you confess, if not you will be judged accordingly by our fair and loving God.
Just remeber:
Stay strong in the Lord/ Never give up hope/ You're gonna do great things/ I already know. God wants you to do great things but before we can we must take small steps such as confession.
Amen! WT, you could be a pastor! =)

Wow... Really good post. Yeah, a lot of times I try to get away with just confessing to God and not people.
