I tell you to confess your faults to one another. Is this an activity you would prefer to avoid? Have you ever actually done it? What effect did it have? Did the action make you feel vulnerable and exposed? Hopefully you found someone who didn’t turn it into shame. Did you also feel the release of a burden? Some things are too heavy for you to bear, and this would include your own secrets. The power of your secret shame will be broken as you share it with someone else, and this puts you in a position to relieve their burden too. Does confession sound too legalistic and punitive to you? You could just as well think of it as confiding.
