GOD'S PROMISES -CONFESSION OF SIN

God will forgive you of your sins both known and unknown.  All you have to do is ask!

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness.  Leviticus 16:21

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done:  and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.  2 Samuel 24:10

And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done?  Let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.  2 Samuel 24:17

And David said unto God, is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? Even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done?  Let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.  1 Chronicles 21:17

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.  2 Chronicles 29:6

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.
