The truth and criticism is better than lies. Why does it hurt so much? I feel embarrassed when I cannot “handle” the truth. I shut-down, I may cry, or become silent. Why do I have such emotional reactions? How can I react more humbly? This whole Jesus thing gets frustrating - on one hand it is difficult work - no excuse for sins yet Jesus is willing to forgive the worst of the worst on his death. Why beat myself and deprive myself of nature’s bounty? What do I do with scripture I struggle with? God wants us to repent and change from our sins. Most of the time, these changes do not occur overnight. “A righteous man falls seven times a day.” No matter how good I think I am there is room for improvement and I could be humbler. There is no excuse for mistakes, yet we are human we will make them.
