Nothing is more enabling of living a sincere life than an adequate
understanding of your limited abilities.
There are two ways in which to acquire this wisdom, God and/or old
age. I would much prefer The Former
since He is genuinely and completely for me; over the later which leads me
harshly to my every limitation all the while reminding me of my supreme
limitation, that of keeping myself alive.
Two other affects of this wisdom is to enable you to live in a
perpetual state of gratefulness for The Lord’s ever present help and to live in
peace with your fellowman because there but by the grace of God goes me.
PS These are thoughts prompted by Thomas a Kempis' The Imitation of Christ, Chapter Two
