"Trying to improve our existing selves is precisely our problem.... We may fear that God will draw away from us if we are honest, but in fact the opposite movement occurs.... 'Here I am, God. You know I am broken and wayward and foolish.' These words dismantle our pride and allow God to penetrate our hearts."
James Bryan Smith. Embracing the Love of God: The Path and Promise of Christian Life. HarperSanFransico: New York (1995). p.36, 37
