Hi Rhonda I think this will share how I feel or think, I have a story about
yesterday as a matter of fact.
A few days ago one of my friends told me that her boyfriend was having
problems, well instead of listening and being there for her what did I do I
tried to give advice, now I didn't see that till yesterday when we got back
on the subject again of her boyfriend, well, I hung up the phone and then
ouch the Holy Spirit showed me that I had not listened I had given when it
wasn't asked for. Why am I sharing this? Well, immediately I emailed this
friend and told I was sorry for that and told her what God had told me.
Well, God wasn't going to make it that easy for me *grin It ended up that I
had to end up telling her via phone because she hadn't received that email
so I did and that is what I think it means to confes our faults to one
another hope that made sense.
