Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
A brokenhearted person is deeply conscious of the meaning and seriousness of sins. I don't mean to be critical of anyone in their prayer life but I often hear people ask God to forgive their shortcomings or mistakes. That sounds as if we are trying to minimize our sins. Let's call them what they are. They are ugly, destructive, terrible sins against a Holy God.
Polite society has even renamed our sins. Adultery is now called having an affair. That sounds like something to be catered. A drunkard is now an alcoholic I abortion is choice, perversion is a lifestyle and no one wants to call sin what it is.
If we are going to have revival as an individual or as a nation we must confess our sins as what they are and become brokenhearted over them.
