Ignorant About Ourselves

I am finding that it is amazing how ignorant we are about ourselves. Sometimes I find excuses to not spend time alone with God because I am afraid of what might be revealed about myself. As I talk to people and as I reflect on my own life I have come to the conclusion that it takes courage to go to the inner depth of our soul. So many people are so afraid to go there. Myself included. One of the steps to healing is to get rid of the idea that we understand ourselves. I don't know if my pride will let me do that!
