There is no greater feeling than confronting and facing your weaknesses and shortcomings, and finding out that you are loved, accepted, and forgiven anyway. It is better than telling yourself you’re perfect or good enough or at least better than [insert much more terrible other person]. And it is much, much better than your self-condemnation, the merciless beatdowns applied to yourself. We can be honest with ourselves about who we are, because of who he is. The one who sets us free. God is here. So we are free.
