It was so moving today to spend some time looking at the life of John the Baptist and realizing what an incredible God we have. All of the the other "gods" demand all kinds of things, but our God simply asks us to be honest with ourselves and admit that we don't love as we should. Why is admitting that we're sinners such a struggle? I guess we don't like to admit that we aren't perfect. John was pretty clear: repentance prepares the way for us to receive Jesus.
As we read a prayer of confession from the Common Book of Prayer, I could see some of the women at our Bible Discussion tear up a little. God's grace touches us deeply.
