we are unable to change ourselves, in and of ourselves: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do” (Romans 7:15). However, we do have some power and choices. We can choose to tell the truth about our faults. We can choose to bring those faults into the light of relationship. We can choose to repent of them and to work them out and mature them.
And there's a difference between being honest about our faults vs. acknowledging them.
