'The honest truth about ourselves
The honest truth about ourselves
Perhaps few of us hear the honest truth about ourselves , until someone grows angry with us and blurts it out in bitter words. It may be an enemy who says the ugly thing about us — or it may be someone who is base and unworthy of respect.
But, whoever it may be, we would better ask whether there may not be some truth in the criticism ; and if there is, then set ourselves to get clear of it.
In whatever way we are made aware of a fault, we ought to be grateful for the fact, for the discovery gives us an opportunity to rise to a holier, nobler life — and a more Christly character.
