RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

LEARN TO ACCEPT YOUR FAULTS

FRIDAY, 17TH APRIL, 2015
—Pastor Chris

Confess your faults one to another... (James 5:16).

The verse above admonishes that you own up when you do something wrong against your brother or
sister. It’s not talking about going to them to confess all your sins, as many have erroneously assumed;
rather, it means being humble enough to accept your fault.
The Amplified version puts it this way, “Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your
false steps, your offenses, your sins)....” Note that when it says “your sins,” it’s not referring to sins
against God; it’s talking about the person you offended—he’s the one to forgive you. So, always be quick
and gracious to acknowledge and accept your wrong when you err against your brother or sister in the
Lord. When you live like this, there’ll be peace in your heart, and in your life, because this is God’s will.
Likewise, when you’re offended, reach out to the offender; don’t wait for him or her to come and
apologize to you before you forgive. Don’t hold a grudge; it doesn’t mean you’re being naïve or unduly
indulging that one who has offended you; it simply shows the excellence and nobility of your character.
God doesn’t brood over your wrong or hold it against you, so why should you brood over the wrong done
to you by someone else, and let it linger? Don’t do that. Forgive quickly. If you wrong anyone, accept
your fault, and if you’re wronged, be generous with forgiveness. It’ll bring beauty to your life, as it
reveals the honour of your personality.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the Lordship of your Word over my life. In my dealings with people today, I’m
humble and tender-hearted, fully yielded to your Word. Wrath, anger, and clamour with all bitterness are
not a part of me, for I’m rooted and grounded in love, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
*1 Corinthians 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with
another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against
any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
*Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away
from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
