These words were written by the great Jonathan Edwards, and have really impacted my life.
As I ponder my life, I realize that this is my goal. This is not a long post, I just want you to linger on this quote.
Take this bit by bit and examine your own life.
"As he has more boldness, so he has less of self-confidence… and more modesty. As he is more sure than others of deliverance of hell, so he has more of a sense of the desert of it. He is less apt than others to be shaken in faith, but more apt than others to be moved with solemn warnings, and with God’s frowns, and with the calamities of others. He has the firmest comfort, but the softest heart: richer than others, but poorest of all in spirit; the tallest and the strongest saint, but the least and tederest child among them"
