No Guts, No Glory

I discovered a lot about myself, once I got past the fear of what I might find.

Most of us don’t like finding out we are not the person we thought we were. This hitch, more than anything else, is what holds me back from going down the roads toward enjoying greater spiritual freedom. I’m not comfortable thinking that I might be petty, jealous, selfish, or a dozen other things I reserve for others. I suspect though, that most of us are exactly what we are convinced we are not.

There’s an old adage that says: “You are what you eat”. I would like to add another version that might be even more accurate: “You are what you hesitate to reveal about yourself”.

The irony here is that none of us will ever find wholeness until we come face to face with ourselves and allow the truth to bring healing. Be forewarned though, it’ll take some guts.
