Feeling a little Romans Chapter 7-ish

We are all in this together...and ain't none of  us perfect.

Least of all, me.

So...whaddya do when you mess it up...again...

You own it.  Yes, I screwed up.  It was my fault.  I should/ should not have [whatever].

You make it right, if it's make-right-able.  Do what you can.  And if you can't...well, remember that one of God's promises is to repay.  You have to trust him...not to repay you, but to repay what you can't.

Learn from it.  What are the warning signs that could tip me off that I'm headed for that error again?  How can I stop before I trip over it...again?

Move on. Remember Romans 8:1 is next...Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are Christ Jesus. 

That's growth.  It's not pretty, and it's not fun.  It certainly encompasses confession and repentance. 

But, sooner or later...we all have to walk through it.

Some of us...more than once.
