Not something we always like to talk about, accountability is a must in a Christian's life. We don't like to lay bare our souls and secret sins to anyone. The fact is though, we need a close friend or family member who we can just talk to about our struggles.
In James it says we are to confess our sins to one another(James 5:16). This is not for your humiliation but rather your healing.. Your Christian brother or sister can help you bear your burden. They can support you with prayer and correction. They comfort you when you fall and help you dust yourself off.
I'm not saying this is comfortable. There will be times when you will truly smart under the correction. But if it is done gently and in love, it can have an encouraging effect.
Choose your accountability partner(s) wisely then heed their words. This will help you in your walk and make the devil grind his teeth.
Remember as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another(Proverbs 27:17).
GOD's peace be with you all.
