On Faith

Rather than going into all of my anxieties, I'll just post this:

"Wallowing in shame, remorse, self-hatred, and guilt over real or imagined failings in our past lives betrays a distrust in the love of God. It shows that we have not accepted the acceptance of Jesus Christ and thus have rejected the total sufficiency of His redeeming work. Preoccupation with our past sins, present weaknesses, and character defects gets our emotions churning in self-destructive ways, closes us within the mighty citadel of self, preempts the presence of a compassionate God."

-Brennan Manning

Here's to getting over yourself and having a little faith.
