I like him, too, even when he’s talking about my sins!
The standard is Christ, and none of us reaches it, but with the Holy Spirit we can grow more like Him.
There is something actually refreshing, invigorating and life giving when facing’s one sinful nature. Only then (in my experience and reading) can we really approach God with a humble heart. And He’ll let us see our sinful nature when we want to see. And then, we can experience His unconditional love, since we belong to Him. I always think like a loving father and mother love their little child even if the child is dirty and misbehaved. Of course, child must be corrected and bathed, but even that is done with love - even if firm!
