Psalms 32:5 Humble and Repentant Heart before God.

In Psalms 32:5 It says "I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin."   This is a recognition of the state that you are in and your heart is humble and that you understand that you have sinned against God and you are not hiding anything from God and that you deserve Hell. God sees our hearts and He knows if we are genuine and He is not fooled by half hearted repentance it must be a godly sorrow or else there will be no change in you because you will live just like you have in the past. Note most men are not willing to come to the light because they exposed themselves being in darkness and they are not willing to do this. it is the same with those who struggled with addictions they must first recognize that they have a problem and face it, the same way if you are going to be able to enter the narrow gate. Please examine what the Bible says about repentance Jonah chapter 3 and  2 Corinthians 7:9-11.
