b'A man went running and twisted his ankle. When he went to the doctor, the doctor asked, \\u201chow did this happen?\\u201d and the man said, \\u201cI don\\u2019t know!\\u201d He didn\\u2019t tell the doctor he had been out running. Now, most people who hear this story would agree that this isn\\u2019t practical. We know that doctors need to know what happened in order to help find the root of our pain \\u2013 but so often, we don\\u2019t tell the doctor the full story. And we are that way too often with God. We show God want we think He wants to see, but perhaps we shield our darkness. We think, \\u201coh, I can\\u2019t be honest about these dark thoughts, or this bad habit, because God will turn from me,\\u201d but you know what? God will never turn from you. Anyway, He already knows everything about you. It isn\\u2019t until you\\u2019re willing to share the whole truth with Jesus that you will experience His mercy and grace. The Bible says in 1 John 1:9, \\u201cIf we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to purify us from all unrighteousness.\\u201d So go to God today and just confess your sins. When you have experienced the forgiveness of God and know the peace it brings, you can share it with others. This is good news we should not keep to ourselves. This is Luis Palau.'
