Summary
This Lenten talk from Psalm 32 is about weight; internal weight upon the conscience; let it be an act or a past behavior that worries your heart, that you cannot get off your mind. It hangs over your head like the Sword of Damocles. Exhausting you; robbing you of living; stealing from you your peace; you can’t really enjoy life as your eyes are always darting to see if the sword is yet in motion; and maybe some days you might even pray that the thread would go ahead and break and put you out of your fitful misery. But there is a way out... As the Talmud says: “God’s forgiveness is the opening of a door to the light. If we only crack that door, God will then throw it open as wide as a highway...Confession is the hinge on which the door of repentance turns.” Your hinges may be a little rusty, but you just have to make a start; give it a little nudge - and God opens the door.
