We all “lose our keys” at some point or another in our lives. Small but very real reminders that we are not perfect, we make mistakes, and our humanity comes through once again. These small irritations are opportunities for formation, grace, and sanctification. They are a reminder of our small fears, inadequacies, and anxieties -places where we have no placed our trust in God. Our lost keys provide moments of revelation, revealing the lostness inside us and our misplaced reliance. The liturgy of confession that we do in worship is a liturgy that we are invited to each and every day. Confession and repentance are everyday activities that remind us that we are not “pretty good people”, but we are new people marked by grace in spite of ourselves. “The practice of confession and absolution must find its way into the small moments of sinfulness in my day. When it does, the gospel –grace itself –seeps into my day, and these moments are transformed!”
