As I meditated upon the sins in my life and the struggles I have experienced, as well as those that I have witnessed others suffering through, I was moved to study deeper about sin in the Bible. There were several passages that captured my attention, where God's people expressed their pain, suffering, and hurt. I find that so intriguing and beautiful. That we can come before an all forgiving and all loving God and confess our worst sins, as well as ask for help in leaving them behind. This series is one where I explore the different effects and tolls sin can take on our spirit's and souls. I hope you find as much meaning in this as I have. God Bless!

Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish, His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider's web. He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
Job 8:13-15
