One of the popular phrases used today is the word “transparency.” We expect and even demand politicians to be transparent or forthright because we feel better connected. Acknowledging our our trials and triumphs humanizes us and helps lead toward to authentic relationships. In the same way, God demands our spiritual transparency so we can view sin as He does and ask for mercy.
