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