To save myself I must face myself, which may be the hardest of all things to face.

We might do well to take a look at what we’ve crammed into our pockets as it will say much about what we’ve crammed into our hearts.

Oh yes, I am frequently driven to an enraged frenzy by the blatantly crass actions of others. But to be painfully honest, that anger is much less driven by the reality of their actions and far more fueled by the realization that everything I am is everything that I hate in them.

In evaluating ourselves, we tend to be long on our weaknesses and short on our strengths.

Once I finally understand the immensity of my own impoverishment, I am finally in a position to see the enormity of God’s majesty.

We must clean the lens of our hearts to see the state of our souls. However, too often the former is too dirty to even know that the latter exists.
