Job 42:6, Wherefore I abhor [hate] myself, and repent in dust and ashes [a sign of mourning].
I've been writing several posts on this, processing the lessons the Lord has had for me in having two different people, of late, tell me that I don't listen to them, but spend my time, instead of trying to tell them what they should do to fix the issues.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, because I genuinely thought I was being helpful, the Lord has help me realize that I was being egotistical to think that I could solve their problems, that I had the solution to everything!
In realizing this, this Bible verse seems to fit with some tweaks, I don't hate myself, by I do hate what I've done, or maybe it's more what I haven't done. Regardless, I feel really badly, and I think I've distanced myself from another person years ago, that I truly regret. I get too busy in trying to think up pithy words of wisdom, that I haven't been there when they needed someone to empathize. I truly regret that!
