Guilt: A Path to Freedom

“He who covers his sons his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 

D.L. Moody visited a prison called The Tombs to preach to the inmates. After he had finished speaking, Moody talked with a number of men in their cells. He asked each prisoner this question: “What brought you here?” “I was framed.” “I was falsely accused.” Not one inmate would admit he was guilty. Finally, Moody found a man with his face buried in his hands, weeping. “And what’s wrong my friend?” he inquired. “My sins are more than I can bear.” Relieved to find at least one man who would recognize his guilt and his need of forgiveness, the evangelist exclaimed, “Thank God for that!” Moody then led him to the Lord.
