It is not by the humanistic, we are 'good people' approaches that people will find relief or more importantly growth. It is found by facing the the deceptions of our hearts, one of those being the notion that we are basically good people who make mistakes now and then. By first seeing ourselves as sinners always in need of God's grace, we are enabled to find the strength and righteousness of Christ which will allow us to overcome sin, love the unlovely, and persevere in 'dissatisfying' situations. Without confronting this deceptive belief with the truth of who we are, contentment will never be achieved.
