Just For Today – Step Five -- Self-Awareness

STEP FIVE:   Is the discipline of Confession.

STEP FIVE: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another person the exact nature of our wrongs.

“Therefore Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”  --James 5:16a

“All of us saw, for example, that we lacked honesty and tolerance, that we were beset at times by attacks of self-pity or delusions of personal grandeur.  But while this was a humiliating experience, it didn't necessarily mean that we had yet acquired much actual humility.  Though now recognized, our defects were still there.  

Something had to be done about them.  And we soon found that we could not wish or will them away by ourselves."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Coming to the point of desperation and to the need of recovery is humiliating but it does not mean we are humble.  Yes we must recognize that we are self-centered creatures that must learn to acquire a humble spirit.  Not an easy process after many years of satisfying our every need. 

It is a choice to recover and it is a choice to become a humble Spirit.  If the desire is there then the process begins and if we continue to practice and choose humility then we will walk in the footsteps of Jesus and reflect His humility.

5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.

6 The LORD sustains the humble
but casts the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make music to our God on the harp -- Psalm 14:5-7
