We start by understanding that there is Truth.
We see our sin and realize God is
our only hope.
We encounter him and find joy.
We find a small circle of others
like us and settle into comfort.
We feel good about us.
We forget our sin and unworthiness;
We forget God wants us to wash
feet,
Carry a cross,
Follow in his steps.
We feel good about us.
We see others’ sins, but not their
wounds, their needs.
We look hard at their sins;
We forget our own.
Our little circle is snug.
We feel good about us.
