Today our Summer Psalms series brings us to a psalm of confession.  We generally don’t like confession.  It means we have to admit we were wrong.  It means we have to repent—to turn—from the sin we are confessing.  It means we have to be honest about our failure and make a real change.  But it also means we can be free from pretending.  We can rejoice that forgiveness is available.  Through repentance, God welcomes us.  Without repentance, we remain outside, choosing our pride and hardness of heart over the love and grace that are found in Jesus.
