To be alive is to be broken. And to be broken is to stand in need of grace. Honesty keeps us in touch with our neediness and the truth that we are saved sinners. There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.

We fail to recognize more subtle talents, such as having joyous spirit, offering the gift of hospitality, or being a great listener. Over the years, I have recognized the gift of encouragement that I have been given. This blessing was not realized right away but was revealed to me over time we may have to do some soul searching and praying to find out what gifts our Lord has blessed us with.

Youll actually be writing your own history, and through that you will see Gods hand, your growth, and maybe even gain insights into how all the pieces fit together. Youll also have the chance to empty out the jumble of thoughts in your brain, freeing up your mind to deal with the here and now.
