The "Talking Cure"

Failure to conceal is the evil one's greatest torment, for once darkness has been brought to light, the glory of the Lord makes all things new. I knew this far too well in my own life. Evil has had its small victories over me for years and years. I clenched onto my struggles and shortcomings, yet the tighter I gripped the worse I was afflicted by pain and suffering. To combat it, and contrary to my personality, I pursued an accountability partner in order to set myself free from my bondage. What I discovered, however, was that the accountability group did not set me free. Confessing the darkness did not wash it away. It was Christ. By my act of obedience to Him he made me clean. He gave me rest. He gave me peace. I could let go.
