Here are some things people typically do NOT confess:
- "I really regret that workout."
- I can be so sore I can't put my shirt on, but I always love having put in a good workout.
- "I shouldn't have gotten up early to read my Bible."
- The Word is life-giving!
- "I wish I would have had sex before I got married."
- Even if we marry the person we've slept with, most will say they wish they'd waited.
- "I wish I were still holding that grudge."
- Forgiveness frees you!
- If you hold a grudge, it pees in your hand!
- "I wish we wouldn't have had a big family."
- Big families love their big families!
- "I'm so bummed my laundry is done."
- This is just crazy talk! :)
- "I'm so glad I got wasted last night."
- No one is happy about what they don't remember.
- "Man, I wish I would have settled for mediocre!"
- God's best!
- "I am so glad I missed my kid's ________ (game, performance, etc.)"
- This isn't the end of the world, but most parents aren't exactly 'glad' they missed.
- "I wish I would have procrastinated."
- Being 'caught up' is a lovely feeling. I don't have much experience with this, but it's lovely.
- "I love being a complainer."
- Complain about service, teachers, spouse, church, government...ahhh! Hush!
- Criticism is NOT a fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22 will tell you what IS!)
- "I wish I would have worked more hours."
- Not a typical deathbed statement.
- "Yay, me! I passed my fear of ______ on to my children!"
- A peeve of mine. I have always been intimidated by horses. So, I had my girls take lessons. When I would catch myself getting nervous, I'd leave. I've since worked through it and now I enjoy riding with my girls when we have the chance. I actually think I have a fear of my kids having a fear. :)
- "I wish I wouldn't have decided to follow Jesus."
- No turning back.
What are your 'Non-Confessions'?
