Bryce knew the verses, and I knew what to say in the moment, but for some reason, everything was so hard for Bryce to overcome, and I felt like my missing ingredient for the grace, too much grace, I was tolerating sin in other people's lives, and in my own in 2023, 2024, I was crushing myself the way I saw myself, and the missing ingredient for me was my love for Christ.

knowing that, man, I love God so much that my sin is murdering him and hurting him, that my sin beat him and crucified him and ripped the flesh off of his back. Because when Bryce in 2024 was all truth, it was, oh, lust is in my way? Okay, Paul says to flee from it. He says, cut my hand off if it's causing me to sin. And I was picturing words on a piece of paper, which is true. There is true.

We need scripture to combat that. But I wasn't picturing the face of Jesus and what my sin was doing to him. And all it was was just a piece of paper to Bryce. And so I started weeping. I started weeping in like November of 2024 of God, this sucks. I just want to see you and I want to know you. And I kind of understand it's either I'm going to humble myself before God or let this stuff humble me.

I can either humble myself and go, God, I need you. And that's why I love this. The last thing I'll say, Psalm 51, King David, man after God's own heart. One of the legends of the Old Testament. struggles with lust, sleeps with another woman, kills his best friend and her husband. So it's like, what the heck?

I love that passage because like a lot of these Psalms, David is crying out to God in the midst of him struggling with sin. And he says, man, like when I keep this sin inside of me, it's like crushing my bones. Yeah. It's making me feel heavy. It's weighing my body down. I can feel it in my bones.

And whenever we hide that sin and we don't look for help and we isolate or whatever it may be, why ever we hide it or try to internally, you know, we try to white knuckle our sin, we hit sin for the dopamine hits that we can find with Christ or things like that. He's like, man, it's in me. And you give the devil the license to use that sin against you and to bring that guilt and shame in your life.

But he says, but when I confessed... The weight was off me. My bones weren't crushed. I humbled myself and said, God, I've sinned against heaven and earth. Thank you for forgiveness. And God, what's the strategy? And so to invite people in, man, at the same time, I may be evangelizing and sharing Jesus because I love God. I really do, and I'm passionate about it.
