Principle 4: Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
"Happy are the pure in heart." Matthew 5:8
Step 5: We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." ~ James 5:16
1. In Principle 4 we are asked to give our inventory three times. Who are we to confess it to and why?
We are to confess it to ourselves, to God, and to another person.
2. Most of us find it easier to confess our wrongs to ourselves and God. We seem to have more difficulty in sharing them with another person. What is the most difficult part for you? Why?
Confessing to myself and God is easy. That doesn't involve speaking aloud where others can hear what I'm saying. I think the vulnerability involved in sharing with another person is what makes that part more difficult. The fear of judgment or shock, the fear of losing a friend or friends, or being looked at differently is the most difficult part.
3. What is your biggest fear of sharing your inventory with another person?
See above.
4. List three people with whom you are considering sharing your inventory. List the pros and cons of each selection. Circle your final choice.
