You Have To "fess Up" and Come Clean

You are not the first one and certainly will not be the last
Even though you might feel it at the time
But there are a few things that you will have to do
Remember Satan, is good at reminding you of your past
He is making you think what you did was a terrible crime
I guess like everyone else, it i s all up to you

Sure you got weak, but that is no excuse
Making excuses will not make you strong
Remember God can see everything
Got to bare it all or they will cook your goose
Just say, " You darn right, I went wrong"
You are just like everyone else, just a human being

It might have been a trap, could have been a conspiracy
Does not matter now, you have been caught
Maybe they did something to alter your mind, you could not think straight
Until you take your last breath, there is no stopping this insanity
A lesson learned is a lesson taught
No matter how bad it get, it is never to late

Whatever the outcome, you have to stay calm
Just be truthful when you say your prayers
Things might get tough and they may get mean
You may feel like you have been hit with a atom bomb
But someone cares. "Yes sir. the man upstairs"
You have to "fess up " and come clean

Yes, people need to fess up. Good message, Danny. It sure is hard when you put a little mark on someone's bumper these days though. I almost didnt' fess up coz it would increase my insurance rate, but lucky for me, the guy was nice about it and let it go! andrea

That is correct no one can fess up for us but us and God will hear the confession. He already knows but needs for us to say that we are sorry. Keep the pen flowing. Sara

Facing our past and admitting our failures is important, Danny. But I do believe we are on God's intended path when we transform our lives for the better by learning from past mistakes. This is a very insightful write! Wishing you holiday joy and blessings, Carolyn
