I John 1:8-10
New International Version
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
Hugh Hewett
In But Not Of (p. 102, 104), Thomas Nelson Publishers
If you insist on always having been right, you will, of course, be wrong, and your colleagues and friends will know this. The gracious among them will refer to you as “stubborn,” and the less gentle will brand you a fool … Developing the ability to quickly recognize errors in your actions, plans, or character is an insurance policy against career-destroying stubbornness.

I’m coming out of a bad relationship after so long. When I look back, I see where the cracks were which developed into fault lines and eventually separation. i have taken responsibility for being wrong on many times and repented, … this is what has now given me the strength and confidence to face the future without the burden of guilt. I need a spiritual refreshment to keep me on the straight and narrow…I’ve found the freedom that only Jesus can give!
