brick wall

My friend, Christina, is going through a very difficult time in her marriage. We've been having some great talks about what the Lord is doing in her life. This morning she struck a nerve in me.

She said we, as humans, tend to point fingers at the other person. It is not until you take a look at yourself and see your part in the situation that you are able to move forward. Ouch! Why is this so difficult? I know this, yet it is my brick wall.

Lord, please help me to stop pointing fingers and blaming others. Please help me look at my own faults and persevere through change with Your help and guidance.

I am encouraged by the courage of my friend.
