Brutal Honesty

There is no one else around. It is just you and the air you breathe. Sometimes  the hardest conversation to have is the one you have with yourself.  Brutal honesty begins when we look in the mirror and speak the truth about what we see.  It requires that you tell the truth about yourself to yourself.  Being honest with yourself about what you really deserve. That kind of honesty is difficult.
 The hardest person in the world to be honest with is the person in the mirror.  No one wants to say those things. No one wants to look in the mirror and admit – I have made some miserable choices.
But  avoiding brutal honesty will short-circuit lasting change. When there is recognition without repentance, desire for change is not there.  We must deal with ourselves truthfully, the awakening must lead to honesty, conviction must lead to confession.
      There is a big difference between apology and a confession : an apology is an expression of regret
(I am sorry).  A confession is an admission of fault: ( I am sorry because I did wrong. I sinned.)
Hebrews4:13
 Nothing in all creation is hidden from god site. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
It's good to spend some time looking in the mirror and speaking the honest truth.
There is something  powerful about going into a quiet room, shutting the door, looking in the mirror, and speaking truth to yourself about yourself.
