I have a friend, a reader who writes from time to time and always says, "Jeff don't be so hard on yourself." Well I get that. Sometimes it may sound like I am being hard on myself, but what I am really trying to do is give the reader a glimpse into the dance that takes place in my brain.
I know the good. I seek to do it. But I don't always get the job done. So I write about the struggle and the failure. I want the reader to see the brokenness in my life. Because if I have it, and I can be honest about it, maybe you will find some encouragement when you face difficulty.
As my friend Margaret recently wrote, "Thanks...sometimes we think we are the only ones...but I see you are in the club too."
Keep your chin up. Don't be so hard on yourself. We are all in the club.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
