If we met ourselves some day on the street
We are very charitable towards our own shortcomings.
We make all manner of allowance for our own faults, and are wonderfully patient with our own infirmities.
We see our good things magnified — and our blemishes in a light that makes them seem almost virtues!
So true is this, that if we met ourselves some day on the street , the self that God sees, even the self our neighbor sees — we probably would not recognize it as really ourselves. Our own judgment of our life is not conclusive.
There is a self we do not see.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life!" Psalm 139:23-24
