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.
