I was challenge the other day in Chapel about confession. Often I feel bad about myself when we I do stupid things or when I fall into sinful pattern. Rather, than thinking about the bad thing in confession, realize it an invitation from God to do good works in your life and thus allowing him to shape you (1 Tim 1:15-17, a bit relating). From chapel, learning from confession I came to the end day with my friends sharing about life and praying for each other. Through that meeting we realize our sins and our idols in our lives and realize our need for God to change our hearts. But also, a desire to serve the Lord and be a difference in a generation that has no hope. In our hearts we cry out to be a living sacrifice:
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Rom 12:1-2
