Look to Christ

“Like the eye which sees everything in front of it & never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests & pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves – blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself & has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his own soul & looks away to the perfect One. While he looks at Christ, the very things he has so long been trying to do will be getting done within him. It will be God working in him to will & to do.”
