Step 4 - Taking Inventory
“Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:40
In order to move forward we need to accurately assess what's wrong. Fortunately we make this inventory with the God who already knows all there is to be revealed and who, with that knowledge, invites us to come close to Him. This is not an exercise in condemnation and shame. It's purpose is to identify those things that harm and to help us find forgiveness and healing.
