All of us are unwilling to be honest when it means admitting we are wrong about something. This habit of self-deception leads people into addictive habits. Only rigorous honesty will help you change. But can you be honest when you have spent most of your life running away from the hurts you have experienced? The Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step program can help all of us become more honest. Knowing who you are and understanding the value of being honest about your actions is what all of us need. In turn, you can work toward becoming the kind of person you want to be in the future. This is why Jesus said, “ the truth will set you free.” Jesus wants us to practice rigorous honesty. The Holy Spirit works in us with the word of God to help us get free from recovery from any addiction. Today, ask the Spirit to help you find the resources you need so that rigorous honesty can be a normal part of your life with God .
So the Israelites cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, because we have abandoned our God."
Judges 10:10
John the Baptist said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Matthew 3:2
I thank you, Lord, for times of sadness and regret. I see in them how I have strayed from your way of love. I pray that you will give me wisdom from these failings. May my straying humble my pride and help me to counsel others who fall short in following you. Amen.
