God wants us to "Get Real" with Him in all parts of our lives. He wants us to recognize Him, and acknowledge Him all the time. Sometimes, it is really hard to let God in, and to offer up to Him
every single part of our lives. There are things we do, say, or think that we just don't want God to know about. Whether it be something we did last weekend that we wished we hadn't, something we said to a friend, or a mistake we made. It doesn't mean we are any less of a Christian if we mess up, because everyone sins and makes mistakes. We may be ashamed of what we did, or think that we can deal with it all by ourselves.

We can sometimes think that if we just don't let God into that area of our life He wont have to know about the mistakes we have made. But really, we can't just shut God out like that. God knows us, he knows all of us and we can't hide stuff from Him. But the awesome thing is that if we just lift up our mistakes, and out sins to God he will forgive us. No matter what we do God will ALWAYS love us,
and forgive us. That is what is so amazing about God. No matter how many times we mess up, we can always come back to Him. He loves us unconditionally, and is always ready to forgive us and wants to forgive us.
