writing is my passion that is why it is easy for me to do article writing in less than a hour or so’

I like the part in the devotional talking about playing the "blame game."
We need to recognize when we sin and repent to God.
The second part of the bible verse also talks about how worldly sorrow brings regret. I think the verse means that Godly saddening, if you will, is a good thing, but the sorrow of the world will get us nowhere. Sometimes it's a pain in the butt to recognize when the Holy Spirit is showing us what is wrong in our life, and we may be filled with sorrow, but it we repent, we will be new again! It's worth the sadness if you ask me!
Sorrow for our sins……should bring about a changed behavior .I was remembering Peter vs. Judas. Peter repented and Judas took his own life.
I am just typing what I wrote in my journal, because there is no other way for me to sum it up. "live broken in grief from my sins? Isn't that what I run away from everyday? Maybe that's the best place for Jesus to use me. Because I am not working on my own strength. Because I am humble and gentle, Jesus will shine. I need Jesus most."
Woahhh, that went right to the heart of me. I am learning that being a people pleaser is not something that CAUSES me to sin… I do the sinning "even if you feel like you did something because of someone". I've felt like things that happened TO me early in life or the personalities of people in my life MADE me develop this people-pleasing issue I have… that oh I'm too nice and easy-going and that I let people take advantage of me, poor me…when in a twisted way, it's really that I want to protect my ego because I don't want people to think negatively of ME. Does anyone else relate?
I can relate to blaming others for something that I have actually done wrong.
I think we all have people-pleasing issues, but we can fix anything with God! :-)
