Dear friends, are you willing that God, with His searchlight, should reveal to you how much self-will and self-trust is in you? Take, for instance, your judgment of people. You say whatever you like and whatever you think and even boast that you say whatever is on your mind, yet you have not yet learned to study the humility and tenderness and gentleness of Jesus. You say what you think, even though you might not always think before you say it. That is self.
