We try to impress God with our perfection and impress others too. And what we tend to forget is that the moment we become impressive, we have diminished others’ view of God. When we try to cast a large shadow, we forget that God is the object of our worship and is the One we are to point others to, not ourselves.
Michael Mercer
How naive of us to think we can upstage our Creator. It’s like a piece of art upstaging the Artist. The house upstaging the Architect. The Master applauding the prodigy. Only One could….The Son of the Creator, who always deferred to His Father.
