Quote: Dietrich Bonhoeffer



"Confession in the presence of another believer is the most profound kind of humiliation. It hurts. It makes one feel small. It deals a terrible blow to one's pride. To stand there before another Christian as a sinner is an almost unbearable disgrace. But by confessing actual sins, the old self dies a painful, humiliating death..."

One Rare Day

There are days where you can live your ordinary life but at the end of the day question whether or not you're even a good person. Let alone whether you've followed closely to Jesus.
And while I could never tell you I've had a perfect day (I'm extremely self-critical)...
I will say that today, at the end of it all, I think I really was a good person.
