I could, and would, find fault in nearly everyone and everything, despite the fact that all judgments are a waste of time and energy, for knowledge of something wrong without the power to change it is useless.

If we are complaining, we are not enjoying the Lord’s presence. This statement can take a lifetime to move from head to heart. However, as we dwell on it, it will make more and more sense... more> How Do I Begin the Journey of Denying Self? Life becomes complicated as we look at ourselves with a view to fixing the problems we find. Upon further examination, we soon realize the impossibility of our situation, for flesh will not improve flesh.
