Sin's pleasures have such great appeal,
They truly look like bargains rare;
But seldom do we clearly see
The hidden cost that we must bear.       D. De Haan

Don't hide your sin and cover up,
Pretending there is nothing wrong;
Instead, confess it and repent,
Then God will fill your heart with song.      Sper



God placed us in a body of believers to support one another. Admit that you aren't prefect. Then seek the counsel of a godly brother or sister in Christ.

Be what God intends you to be-----don't pretend to be what you're not.

I really liked this.  You know there is nothing more depressing to the spirit than unconfessed sin.  I just hate carrying guilt around and not mention separation from God that one expirences when carrying unconfessed sin.  And what freedom once you confess and know that God forgives you!  Your step is lighter and your smile is brighter!  It feels like sunshine on a rainy day!
As to not being perfect.....There is nothing more wonderful than knowing that God loves me "just as I am"!
