"He who thinks that he is finished is finished. How true. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, in all reality are demons."
-Henri Nouwen, The Genessee Diary.
so to all you "saints" out there, get down! you're not that great.
to the old and retired, use your wealth and wisdom for the benefit of others, not just for yourself.
to the talented, remember the days when you loved to practice, and do it again.
become a child again.
[ food for thought ] : 97 % of people evangelized this year were done so by "first-year" Christians.

profound words.
"God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him."
- C.S. Lewis
"We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home."

Its so true. I think many Christians put themselves on such a pedistal and become so prideful.
We have to get our hands dirty! We need to work for the glory of God, because we have been called to do so!
Great blog. :)
