“The need to prove to ourselves and to others that we are valuable is often what drives our behavior…”

“I was taught for​​ much of my Christian life that​​ in order to stay​​ right with God,​​ ​​ I must ask God to forgive me each time I sinned. And so I tried to keep a mental list of all my sins so I could ask God to forgive me​​ for each​​ one. ​​ Do you know how hard it is to remember every sin you commit?”
