gaze-on-jesus:

Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and weak-kneed who know they don’t have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace.

Brennan Manning

I thought I ruled the world, but the world ruled me.

I thought I controlled my life, but life controlled me.

I thought I led people, but people led me.

I thought that I was God, but found I am only a sinner.

I ruled nothing. I controlled nothing. I led no one.

And I began, then, to know myself.
