Two Brothers, Two Paths: Hiding or Healing

Genesis 4 shows us what happens after sin enters the heart — not just the act itself, but the response that follows. Cain hides, deflects, and hardens, while Psalm 32 shows us another way: confession, honesty, and restoration. Scripture reminds us that hiding feels safer in the moment, but it weighs down the soul. God’s questions are never meant to shame us; they are invitations back into relationship. Freedom begins when we stop covering and start confessing, trusting God’s mercy more than our own way.
