We can be afraid to be known fully, and that can cause us not to share all the things we do or share the lies we believe about ourselves. Dedani shares how confession to people who are safe can lead to freedom, and that we’re maybe even loved in sight of all this. “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” - James 5:16
