Character & Integrity
🪞 Owning My Part
Look at your own part first. Confess it. Blaming everyone else keeps the problem stuck.
First
“You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
Matthew 7:5 · World English Bible
Confess
“Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.”
James 5:16 · World English Bible
Clean
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 · World English Bible
