✨ Come back to Me, My child — God
“Confession is good for the soul” -- so says the old cliche. Like many cliches, it has the virtue of being true.
For the Christian, confession is not an option. We sin, and we confess, and our life with God goes on. It can't be otherwise. Augustine, the great Christian teacher in the Roman empire, noted that "the confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works."
“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. [Interlude]
Finally, I confessed all my sins to You and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And You forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” [Interlude]
— Psalm 32:1-5 (NLT)

"not all men" you're right. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of God, would never treat me like this

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
Mathew 6:26
