Grace Stephens’s Reviews > Upon Waking: 60 Daily Reflections to Discover Ourselves and the God We Were Made For > Status Update

“If ever you decided that anything you are or have done makes you good, you’re deceived. And the deceived tend to think so highly of their own selves that they move toward death daily, full of pride and self-righteousness, while God stands with two nail-torn palms, waiting for them to come. It’s interesting that “obvious sinners” can be closer to the kingdom than those raised near it.” pg 104
