The first step to repentance is the recognition of sin. My servant John wrote if you say that you have no sin, you deceive yourself. All have sinned and fallen short of My glory.
My dear friend Peter finally recognized his sin when the cock crowed .. I warned him that he would deny Me three times before the cock crowed. He did not believe Me. He was confident in his own strength to overcome temptation.
Whenever you depend upon yourself more than you depend upon Me, you have given into the lust called "the pride of life" (trusting in yourself and your own strength more than Me). Whenever you think that you can handle a difficult situation or relationship without My help, you must recognize that things will not go well. Recognize your dependence upon Me this day, and call upon My help.
