Honesty and mercy are the first steps to recovery

October 22, 2022October 22, 2022 adminFaith & Life

Unless we acknowledge our failings and rely on God to help us, we will never be able to turn our lives around and conquer the adverse life circumstances we once chose for ourselves. In God’s eyes, there is no man who is not redeemable. It is we who need to take the first step toward Him in humility.
