week 4 Questions 7 (page 63)
Do you feel that God is disappointed with you somehow ? Explain.
It is my goal to hate the sin but love the sinner. Just how well I will actually do will be evident in these following days. Try as I do , I still project that God will be disappointed with me if I do not love the sinner.

week 4-question 5 (pages 60-61)
After reading page 62 in our book , and considering the short excerpt, we are to as ourselves this question.
In what way might your words reflect pride instead of humility?
Thinking of your self as a low life really does not line up with God's Word. If you assess yourself as sludge or less than what God says about those who believe in the redeeming power of Jesus , it is pride talking. Pride is saying, I know better than God. He said I am redeemed but I'm not. Humility says I know He has a greater power than I even know of. If He says, I am redeemed, then I am.
question 6 (page 61)
False humility is just one species of pride, and it creates an unhealthy portrait of who I am. And how I see myself deeply influences my identity. So when grace paints a portrait of me, what does it look like?
Grace says even though my actions and my attitudes do not always line up with God's word, I am forgiven. I am given the gift of being treated as though I did not sin, with God's blessings. This grace is often times hard to receive. I would rather earn His friendship, but I learn over and over, I will only fail. The only things I am able to do that please Him are those things I could not do in my own strength and have failed at a thousand times before. However, when I received His grace , His spirit was also loosed to empower me and then I was able to act upon His word as He intended me to do all along.
