It was like with a self afflicted gunshot wound in a country that has outlawed guns. I knew that going to the hospital I was going to get into trouble for owning and operating a gun but if I did not go I would possibly die. Sexual sin and the failure to repent was very similar to me. I could not heal and could not progress without seeing my bishop and repenting. Along with the repentance comes some punishment but you know it is hard to feel like it is punishment when I feel God’s arms wrapped around me and knowing that He is holding me and carrying me through the healing process. And really any “punishment” that might come out of confession is really just part of the healing process that your soul needs to go through.

Well that has been my experience.
