Proverbs 28:13

This verse is very encouraging to us in our everyday life. If we try to conceal what we do from God this verse says we will not prosper. First we cannot hide anything from God, and most times it is hard to keep things completely concealed from others also. If we confess and give them all up to God then we will find compassion from God.
This verse doesn't say that if we confess our transgressions that we will not have to pay the consequences but that we will find compassion and find refuge in God. Only he can forgive you and give us compassion. There is nothing we can do to receive compassion. Compassion is to have someone feel sorry for you and for someone to want to take away the pain. I praise God that I have the ability to bring my transgressions before him and that he will give me compassion.
