“Getting honest with ourselves does not make us unacceptable to God. It does not distance us from God, but draws us to Him- as nothing else can- and opens us anew to the flow of grace. While Jesus calls us to a more perfect life, we cannot achieve it on our own. To be alive is to be broken; to be broken is to stand in the need of grace. It is only through grace that any of us could dare to hope that we could become more like Christ.”

I am ready to get honest with myself.
