questions

• Am I living as my conscience approves?
• Am I demanding of others a higher standard of conduct than I demand of myself?
• Am I taking a less charitable view of the failings of my neighbors than I am of my own?
• Am I standing in public for principles which I do not practice in private?
• Is the sympathy I show to others who are in trouble commensurate wit the pity I would expend on myself, if the same things happened to me?

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Through Jesus Christ. Amen. ~John Baillie
