It’s worth taking a look at your soul for 2023
“Once we accept the gospel of grace and seek to shed defense mechanisms…, honesty becomes both more difficult and more important. Honesty involves the willingness to face the truth of who we are, regardless of how threatening or unpleasant our perceptions may be. It means hanging in there with ourselves and with God, learning our mind tricks by experiencing how they defeat us, recognizing our avoidances, acknowledging our lapses, learning completely that we cannot handle it ourselves. This steady self-confrontation requires strength and courage. We cannot use failure as an excuse to quit trying.” Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning, p. 86
