ouch.

“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, and obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”
-D. A. Carson
For the Love of God (vol 2)

I sit speechless.
how can I make much of CHRIST today?
what can I do to be effective in this journey?
o selfish me.
as pastor chandler always says:
"it's ok to be broken, but you can't stay there."
forward I go, with a repentant heart I journey on.
