Praising God and being real about it
There are some folks I know who are very good, excellent even, at laying out their internal world. I mean this: they can talk about how a piece of Scripture really stopped them short, or how they’re having doubts about God’s goodness, or how they’re really being pierced over a new understanding of their sinfulness.

Walk in the light as He is in the light – that’s from 1 John 1:7. Then the blood of Jesus will purify us from all unrighteousness.
