Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude (Psalm 32:5 NLT)
You can't hide your sins from God and when you try you only cause yourself greater pain. The Psalmist "finally" did what he should have done from the beginning and "confessed" his sins to God. At the end of this psalm there is an "interlude" as if to say in part, "Stop and think about this for a minute. He was always willing to forgive my sins and I wouldn't let Him." Be smart and stop trying to hide your guilt and rebellion from God. You're only making things worse for yourself. You can be guilt free ("all my guilt is gone") for the asking!
