My beloved David tried to cover his sins of murder and adultery, but the prophet Nathan came to David and brought David's sins to light. Once David's sins were brought to light, he repented for what he had done and he had godly sorrow.
Godly sorrow always works repentance in the heart of a person. We are called to cover other people's sins, but we are to bring our own sins into the light. We are exhorted to confess our sins to one another so that we may be healed.
When you confess your sins to Me, I already have forgiven you of that sin. However, confessing your sins to Me and to one another is a way for you to continually walk in the light and have genuine fellowship with other believers. Also the confession of your sins to Me puts you in a position to receive My cleansing.
