Christian Living
I find it very ironic that...
it is much harder to love ourselves than it is to love others...
while, at the same time...
it is much easier to acknowledge another's shortcomings than it is to own up to our own.
Perhaps it all boils down to the fact that forgiveness follows confession.
When you acknowledge the shortcomings of another, you have, if only in your own mind, confessed for them...
while forgiveness is difficult to find for yourself until you've confessed to another.

James 5:16(NIV) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Love, confession,forgiveness, so important in the life of The Believer. I really am blessed for reading this, You are blessed for writing it.Its a deep revelation(Irony)
And sometimes it is just as hard to forgive ourselves. Yes all these things have been weighing heavily upon my heart and it took the words of another to help me think and pray. Thank you!
Amen, you are right on target.
POWERFUL Joyce! Love, Sharon
