"He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more. He overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it."
This quote from Charles Spurgeon was hanging above my friend's sink and I jotted it down. Very convicting. I've been exposed to quite a bit of Spurgeon this semester and love it. Its very convicting. Rather wordy at times, but can't blame the man - he's from the 1800's and an intellectual ;-)
Living day to day trying to keep Christ as the focus
