True confession is not just an exchange of information; it also involves entering into the pain of the person we have hurt and entering into God's pain over sin.
The epistle of James says, "Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection."
