I have found in my life that those faults or flaws in my life that I acknowledge and share with another are more likely to diminish in force or importance than those flaws that I would rather keep hidden within myself. The more I try to hide the truth about myself from others and sometimes even from myself, the slower my progress in trying to build on my strengths and to ask for God's mercy and compassion as I continue striving for wholeness and holiness.
It's necessary for me to stop focusing on hiding myself from myself and from others so that God's patience and love can shine through me to others.
