Being honest, especially with yourself can be very difficult yet can reap great rewards. I discovered about a year ago I wasn't being honest with myself or with God.
Since God IS truth and IS also patience, the Spirit worked with me so I could face my inability to be honest about my imperfections. The result was that I could begin to forgive myself for not being perfect. It's ridiculous that I even entertained the thought that I am perfect, and deep down I knew I wasn't but I kept trying so hard to do the right things and punishing myself when I fell short.
Now I guess you could say I am a recovering perfectionist.
When I talk to God regularly He reminds me that He loves me just the way I am! And that's the truth.
