When a conversation goes wrong and escalates into a battle, we have to deal with the aftermath and assess our part. It helps to ask yourself, am I shifting blame to others, making excuses for my actions, or am I accepting responsibility?
It’s amazing how many excuses and how much blame we can come up with after giving in to sin. Have you ever noticed that asking for forgiveness is often difficult?
Many times, our pride is the culprit.Instead of immediately asking for forgiveness, pride says, “I was right ” or “It wasn’t that bad!”
RESPOND
Dear Lord, I need greater humility and courage to accept responsibility for my sins. First John 1:9 promises that if I confess my sins, You, dear Lord, are faithful and just to forgive them. Help me to nurture a repentant heart. Amen.

“I used to be so confident. But now I feel like such a loser.” Do you feel this way? My God never asks for us to have confidence in ourselves. He only asks that we have confidence in Him! And when God commands, He also supplies. This is true for every area of your Christian life. You can get up every day, go to your closet, and select the spiritual clothes you’ll wear for the day. Here’s a partial description of God’s approved wardrobe.
Father’s Day gives families the time to thank dads for the many ways they meet our needs. While we can show that appreciation more than one time a year, let us take time to count the many blessings we enjoy because of our husband, and show him blessings in return.
