Confessions is good for your soul…

Confession is good for your soul…but not for your reputation

kid cryToo often we put a spotlight on the ‘highs’, the victories, the achievements… And we work hard to keep our mistakes, our faults, our failures hidden.

I’m no different. I struggle with the desire to have a good reputation. I want others to like me. But a good friend once told me leaders are meant to grow publicly. As much as I resist that, I know it’s where God grows me the most… when I live with nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to hide.

 

 

By His grace, the Lord led us a team, recently, to come humbly before Him to confess our sins to one another. We followed it up with a blog post that I encourage you to read.

“Dear God, I confess that Your grace is all you need. Your power works best in weakness. 
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ can work through me” 
(2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT)
