Amazing thoughts. I'm struggling through a church split, disillusioned with people, disappointed in myself for my actions concerning the split and in other personal areas of my life. Naturally, I put the blame on others for the most part. I know this is wrong. I'm not quitting and hiding. (I feel more comfortable alone and isolated.) That's a start. Everything I've read lately is right on the mark for teaching me about grace, self discipline, and more grace. Thank you. Your words are poignant and healing and challenging. God bless.
