It is so much easier to see the sins of others as major and ours as minor character flaws. Thanks for reminding us to look at our own hearts and lives before we point the finger at anyone else. Thanks, too, for hosting!

One of my favorite accounts within the Bible! I love how you describe this, though, Jaime! Falling at His feet or reclining at the table. Which attitude will we take? I'm praying I always choose to fall at His feet and thankfulness and love. It's so good to be back this week! I, like you, have just been so swamped and just can't seem to visit all my favorite places all the time anymore! I'm always so encouraged when I come here
Hugs,
Lori

A great post. I need to remind myself that I am forgiven and to forgive others. Something that I need to work on.

Such a lovely post; thank you so much for sharing it; when our kids were little and we'd read the Bible together, and read about when God delivered the Israelites from Egypt and they would complain and fuss about everything, I'd catch myself saying the same thing, "I'd never…" – such pride!
I am so thankful my heavenly Father pointed out to me that yes, I had and do, and that He forgives so quickly as soon as I repent!
God bless you

We as a society are so quick to judge others and it's true; none of us are perfect or without sin. Lots of wisdom here in these words. Thanks for sharing at Together on Tuesdays!

You wrote: "Suddenly, my sins don’t look as pretty as I made them out to be." So true. Mine either – or is it neither? Anyway, this post if full of godly wisdom. Thank you!

This is one of my favorite stories from the Bible, Jaime. And in my current Bible readings, I've been in Psalm 51, and just recently read David's reflections that he was sinful at his conception. So many people would bristle at the thought of a baby being "sinful" but it's simply part of our DNA. And like you've said, it is counterproductive to try and minimize our guilt. There's freedom in acknowledging it and surrendering it at our Savior's feet. Great post, my friend! Blessings to you!
