(mistakes, blemishes, weakeness, excuses, spiritually blind, hidden sin, etc..)
Psalm 19: 11-13
Luke 6: 41-42
Ecclesiastes 12: 14
James 5: 13-16
If you or the person refuses to admit fault.
Who is at fault?
Are you to proud to admit you have a problem?
What is under the surface (core) that can give way at anytime?
In my behavioral management class, we were taught to assess the situation. Become aware of your actions and the consequences. What you are saying and speaking to yourself and others. Our communication, verbal and non-verbal behavior/speech. Listening attentively. You maybe, surprised or not, what you may find out about yourself and others.
Looking beyond the fault, and seeing the 'need'
Thank God for looking beyond our faults and seeing the need.
In other words,
The negative is ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of truth. Do your part. Examine your own weakness and mistakes.
The positive is realizing you want to change for the better. Starving the bad habits, addictions, hidden faults and secret sins. Knowing when you are being manipulative and controlling.
The Need
End Goal
Realize and Research the various factors, why you say things and behave the way you do.
Persistent and Consistent effort is creating what you want and don't want. This is a part of Personal Development and Transformation.
With freedom comes responsibility and accountability.
The Utmost
is
We 'Need' Jesus
Because we can't see our faults or others sometimes.
He already knows, what the 'Big Picture' looks like.
Frustrated, aggravated, and seemingly that it appears that others are getting ahead or getting away with something,
But, where does true happiness, peace, joy, love, wisdom, confidence, understanding, wealth, etc,
comes from?
Go Deeper!
I Believe You Already Know The Answer!

Greetings Everyone!
I hoped that everyone enjoyed Holy Week and Easter (Resurrection Sunday) with friends and family
We are in the 2nd quarter of the year, hopefully everyone has been spending time in prayer
meditation, fellowship, worship and praise.
Pursuing those things that God has called you to do.
In time of listening to the word this morning and in prayer, the subject of
'unforgiveness' was mentioned.
You may have forgiven, but you are still holding 'ill thoughts' towards the person, group,
organization, or whatever your particular situation. There are still lingering thoughts of
bitterness, resentment, and patterns of negative thoughts.
That is 'sin'.
You can't fully move forward and become whole until you get this corrected
I know it hurts. What your father did or said, mother, cousin, brother, sister, co-worker, boss,
social media friends, spouse, etc. All the junk and mess of hurt, pain, shame, embarrassment,
not feeling good enough, angry and the fact that you think you can't get over it.
Some of this is a process and other times just make a
'decision' to release it and let it go. Ask God if you are still rehearsing negative thoughts
about the individual or individuals. You can do this! He will help you.
It's for you to do, you may need to go and apologize or whatever you believe
God is saying to you.
You yourself don't always say or do things right and may have offended someone.
There is room at the cross for you!
and
It was not easy for Him(when they betrayed, lied, spit on Him and all the other foolish things that were done, but it was worth it.
He already paid the price.
Pray for our nations, countries, leaders, communities, family and friends.
