acknowledging flaws and fault

The way that we have to communicate our needs to others for them to give us what we need; we have to also communicate those needs to God so he can help us move forward. We all start in different places; I was in a place where I needed to examine where I was and what I was doing in life. My first move was finding out what I needed. We can become some masters of illusion that we sometimes fool ourselves into thinking we are doing ok. We tell everyone else how great we are doing and we start to believe it ourselves. Nothing wrong with that; if you are really starting to do fine and not just harboring all those past hurts and transgressions.

We have to acknowledge our flaws and our faults. We have to admit we aren't perfect. We do things wrong. We speak harshly or harbor ill thoughts about others. We are doing things that aren't right and we sometimes can't stop ourselves or don't want to. We have to acknowledge; and forgive ourselves. And then we have to make the effort to move forward and do things differently.
