Once in a while,
I go to church to confess because I feel the need to. I feel my heart is already filled up with wickedness and I'm always doing the wrong things.
I need to empty them all out to the priest
so I won't drown. It's like cleaning out and cleansing my whole being from the inside out. And confession is the first thing to do. When I need to renew myself, confession helps a lot. It gives me relief from the heavy burden of sin and guilt, lightening my load. I've always known that sinning will never give me a good life and will bring me to ruin, and its consequences will eventually take me to hell. Sinning is death already because it's digging my own grave and piling up stones for my tomb. And no one to blame for all my sins ​except myself. I could have pulled myself away from sin and wrongdoing but I was always too weak to do it and temptations are hard to resist. No matter how I try to avoid sin, I always fall into it. ​
I'm only human who is not born perfect
and has been making mistakes ever since. My spirit is longing for perfection but my flesh finds it so hard to do. That's why I have to clean up my whole being through confession and try not to commit mistakes again. But even after confession, I sin again and even committing the same sins like before. It's so hard not to sin again and I don't know if there's somebody ​who could do it. If there is, certainly I will congratulate and praise him right away for doing an extraordinary job! I know that if I don't sin again, I will have the best life on earth and God will present me the highest rewards ​ and shower me with His overflowing blessings. The first thing to do before confession is to acknowledge all my sins from beginning to end, from childhood up to the very moment I confess. And memorizing them all so that I won't forget to tell them all to the priest. It's easy to tell if something I did was a sin. If it was not good or positive, then certainly it was sin or wrongdoing. And I've been making them all since birth. And I couldn't remember a day I was perfect, a day where I never sinned at all. Sinning was always common and ordinary for me. And I also know that it never pleased the Almighty One. Confession helps me clean out my spiritual being and my conscience as well. And it's also a great reminder for me that I'm a human being who is weak, who gives in to temptation, who is never free from sin and wrongdoing. And on top of it all, a human being who longs to be good because being good is the best thing ​to live your life in this world.
