Craig D. LounsbroughTo attempt to know myself ‘apart’ from God is to choose to know nothing more than ‘a part’ of myself.
About This Quote
In the words of the great poem, To a Friend, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning: “To attempt to know myself ‘apart’ from God is to choose to know nothing more than ‘a part’ of myself.” I can trust what I do know about myself. I can trust that I am unique and unique as a person. Sure, I might not be as smart as Einstein or as creative as Picasso or as kind as Mother Teresa, but I am none of those things apart from God. And if God is everything there is, then I am everything there is. In other words, I am perfect just the way God made me.
