I am a sinner, however at this time, my conscience is clear.
I usually don't have anything I know i need to be forgiven of.
But I don't know what sins are hidden from me.
I would like to be forgiven for these sins too.
I never want to offend the One I love in the least, or have any sin I have not asked for forgiveness or repented of.

On God’s part,
He says He loves me and it is not His priority to tell me anything that offends Him.
I feel like a newlywed where my Lord doesn't want to bring up my faults.
All He wants to do is love me!

May He grant that I walk obediently and be perfected by His grace, forgiven of all things even hidden.

I believe that God in his mercy does not reveal the full extent of our sinfulness to us at once as it would be just too much to bear. The safe place to understand the depths of our need for grace and forgiveness is one in which we are able to avoid despair over our sin as we realize that the need for forgiveness has already been met, and therefore we give glory to Christ for the fact that he has removed the guilt of it all from us.

I wrote this sometime back.

Shanty Dwelling Place

He lives in me.
He is royalty and I would be

A shanty dwelling place
Not a glorious heaven space

I like Mary Magdalene so loving Him
Identified with her in forgiven sin

Why does He love me so much, why!
Sorrow for me and His loving heart caused him to die?

Worshipping now and kissing His feet
Close to Him now I hear His beat

Now I know of His love more
As I wait to be with Him on Heaven's shore

It was later i realized that, yes I was ultimately forgiven, but God was infinitely more righteous and sinless, perfect and beautiful compared to me.

God may not point out all your faults, but your mother will! lol

For christians, its the Holy spirit who will convict us. He does this on a need to know basis I find. And He does this gently, not with a big stick!
