being honest what is you worse fault?

[slim777]

most everone i know will not come out openly and confess their faults, this seem, to be the weak point in all of us, some people want ever admit that they have any faults, but i am convinced that ever person alive has many faults .. some people would be to proud to admit that they have faults.. this would be a discretic to their person, admitting our shortcoming . we might ask why would God tell us to confess our faults to each other? well first off when we speak our faults this makes us more consious to our faults and then maybe we can threw confessing them to a brother , and then with their prayers and support in knowing our faults that both people could draw strength from a brother or sister faults by praying for each ..

nevertheless God word alway has a good reason for commanding us to do certain things, maybe you have never look into the value of confessing faults,

think about this when was the last time you heared someone actually admit some fault that they have and they admited openly that they was weak and faultly in some area..

I would guess that this command of the lord word is less practiced in about all the command of the word of God, because like i said most people are too proud to confess their faults..

I know that everthing God tell us in the Bible to do there has to be a good purpose behind it. all my life i have looked closely at my faults, some i have fixed and some i still need work on .. and if you would set down and list your faults you better get a notebook of paper because you going to need one. Did you know that not being friendly could be listed as a fault?

being harsh to a love one returning a answer to a question they have asked nicely..

not being polite...is a fault ..being unwilling to listen when the preacher is preaching is a fault...saying you will pray for a brother or sisters needs and not performing it is a fault...not interested in someone testimony in church or ever caring about what they said is a fault...not encoraging the pastor and bragging on his sermons, is a fault... letting vuglar word slip from the mouth when you mash your finger.. faults are everwhere in human kind,.. it good that God gives us direction in confessing our fault .. but most important of all is confessing our sins to our lord and asking him to heal our faults and shortcoming...

My God-revealed faults:

After I discovered my husband was into internet porn (and had been since our marriage began), I made his life a living h*&@ for two years straight. I let my anger and rage and bitterness beat him into the ground day after day for two years. I scared my daughter once with it and became completely obsessed with my own pain. When that didn't work, God led me to some books about the differences between men and women. My eyes began to open, I let go of my anger and tried love. I rededicated myself to making my marriage work. I didn't have a real chance to see its work. A couple of months after this my husband molested my daughter. How much of what I did to him for those two years brought about his decision to do what he did? All I can do now is pray that I never let my anger get a hold on me again.

Okay, so that's one of many!

My biggest ongoing sin is the sin of my tongue, while its the smallest member of my body it can do the most harm. This is something I wrestle with daily. Speak or don't speak , how something I say can be hurtful whether or not that was my intention. You can kill someone mentally & emotionally with words. So i continually struggle with this. I've had more sin that I have confessed about but this is one that I deal with daily.

None of us are without fault and we all have terrible flaws ...

but I honestly don't think focusing on them is profitable for me unless God is scrutinizing them so I can repent and have them dealt with and thrown as far away as the east is from the west...

We need to face our faults..and it is good when someone shares and in that sharing we see our faults and repent..

But again...not to focus on them..

I read a post today that spoke to me about a fault and I have been praying about it this afternoon..

I need God to cleanse my heart and turn my feet..

That is the focus we need..

I prefer to go with "Whatsoever things are lovely and of good report..think on these things.." when sharing with others....

I am pretty klutzy about sharing my heart so I hope you got my drift here ...

Stormy, please.....nothing you did made your husband a pedophile. This is a deep seated mental condition that usually starts in childhood. Don't make yourself responsible for the evil in others; the Lord only holds you responsible for YOU. And how you raise your kids, of course. Not saying you shouldn't try to influence others for the Lord but don't think you can change someone who wants to be evil. Can't be done. I hope you have removed your daughter from this situation and sought help for her.

God gave her the strength to get the help she needed. She spoke up in school about it because he had convinced her I would hate her if I found out. The morning she spoke up, I had an overwhelming need to pray for her courage and strength. Now I know why. He was arrested and is now in prison, so she is safe.

I know I didn't make him decide to do this, but I certainy wasn't providing a safe and loving environment for him to heal from whatever it was that was haunting him. Sin hurts God because it hurts His creations. I was sinning by letting my rage tear at the heart of someone else He loves who was hurting in his own way. The blessing I received from this though, is now I know how I can really hurt someone. It's put a guard on my tongue and my actions. I'm not perfect at it, but I can see further than my own pain now. I can see how I can really hurt people when I sin. God turned it for my good, and I pray my husband has seen the same light.

This is a timely post. I have LOTS of faults. I've been thinking a lot about them and starting to ask God to help me overcome them.

Here's a few. Since I'm sure that you're not asking for a book I'll just hit the high spots.

I don't do things right away. I know how to triage and prioritize, but I have trouble with the execution.

I NEED to get up early in the morning and exercise and I just don't have the gumption to do it. I lay in bed thinking that I really NEED more sleep than that. Sigh!

Well, I DO covet my neighbor's humility........

My biggest faults are my anger, which can make it hard for me to intelligently defend the bible b/c when the other person starts to argue I start to get mad. I have been praying and working on my anger so that I can defend the gospel with inteligent, well thought out words.

I also tend to fantasize about being greater than I am. While I am very humble in most my actions, at times in my thoughts I tend to exalt myself. When this happens I just take time to remind myself that I worship Jesus, not the other way around.
