Just me trying to be honest with God.

One who is afraid of God is sorry to get caught; one who fears God is sorry they did wrong.



“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” 2Cor.7

We all get caught doing wrong from time to time; what we do, when we do, is the measure of our response to God’s grace. All of us have a proclivity to act selfishly. This is precisely why God gives us grace; without it we would spiral out of control. Getting caught is part of that grace, and understanding this is the first step toward accepting more of it so that we learn from our wrongs and start to right them.
