10-19-11    “He did deliver me from bondage”  p.114.  Conclusion to principle 8
 

“We must be willing to bury our weapons permanently – our weapons of pride (self-will, competition, and enmity), fear (self-pity), and self-righteousness.  We must not allow ourselves to use them ever again…”

I am willing… but to have this self-expectation seems to be once again trying to ‘white-knuckle’ my way to perfection.  I am willing, but I know I am very imperfect and some weaknesses I must overcome one step at a time so that the change is real and permanent.  I suppose all I can do is to do my best every day, even praying for strength beyond my own so that I may be endowed with that which I yet lack so that those around me can be blessed.


This was a fitting talk for today.

JS Quote p. 78 “I told them I was but a man...  bear with my infirmities, I … theirs.”
