Lookit! Lookit! Lookit!

Don’t see my sin, Lord.

Look at Jesus on the cross, Father … then look at me.

Look at Jesus Christ risen, Father … then look at me.

Look at Jesus ascended, Father … then look at me.

Amen.

"There is something about deepest humility that makes us bold. For utter obedience is self-forgetful. No longer do we hesitate and shuffle and apologize because, say we, we are weak, lowly creatures and the world is a pack of snarling wolves among whom we are sent as sheep by the Shepherd. On human judgment the world tasks we face are appalling well-nigh hopeless. Only the inner vision of God, only the God-blindedness of unreservedly dedicated souls, only the utterly humble ones can bow and break the raging pride of a power-mad world. "
