1 Corinthians 3:18 

18 Guard against self-deception, each of you.

If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age,

let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

 

Centered

 

No one can do all things right ... except the Lord Jesus.

We scream it from the housetops but really can’t believe it.

Something in our being ... wants to receive it,

but our actions and behavior have no hunger to retrieve it.

 

In the middle of my universe is where we reside.

All things turn around us ...  as we think to have control.

It is so amazing ... that these specks of dust

have this unequalled tendency ... to play this major role.

 

Acting like the creator of it all ... is in the palm of our hands

to think we can manipulate Him ... to do what we want.

The height of depravity ... seldom recognized

because of the thought of doing good is an everyday constant.
