Now many times have I read the story of Perfect Joy, understood it as best I could, vowed to live up to it and failed usually within minutes? Why do I glory in the things that are not mine to glory in and why do I insist on the admiration of those around me?
Do I really want to follow Christ for the love of throne who loves me and saved me or do I follow Christ in the vain hope that I will admired for that? Do I serve the poor for their sake or for mine? I know there is no satisfaction in running after the world and its approval. I fully agree that pride makes me miserable. I know following Christ where he wants me to go is what will ultimately. Are me happy. Why, don't I do it?
