Confessions: Phone Booth Series

We sometimes feel weighed down with the burden of guilt long after God has removed it from our backs. If we follow God’s instructions to be contrite and to confess, we can then trust that God has kept his promise to forgive. Psalm 103 (verse 12) puts it beautifully: ‘As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our sins from us.’

Have you asked yourself recently whether you need the cleansing that God offers? Are you covering up the guilt in your life through good works or denial? Or are you labouring under an enormous burden of guilt? Either way (and many of us are somewhere in between), have you received God’s forgiveness? Have you forgiven yourself?

Do you need to let go of your regrets about the past, and experience God’s healing for the previous poor choices you have made?

Like the film, our lives are on the line. And like the film, we need a wake up call, to contrition, confession and redemption. Thankfully, we don’t need a sniper to trap us in a phone booth. This movie will make you think hard enough. But the words of King David, who confessed and experienced forgiveness, will show you where to go next for the source of all life. There is always hope.
