Reflection from Max Lucado

The following is a quote from his 3:16 - The Numbers of Hope calendar. It is one of the best summaries of our attitudes as humans towards God. I just wanted to share. "[Some] of us have written our own Bible verse: 'God helps those who help themselves' (Popular Opinion 1:1). We'll fix ourselves, thank you. We'll make up for our mistakes with contributions, our guilt with busyness. We'll overcome failures with hard work. We'll find salvation the old-fashioned way: we'll earn it.

Christ, in contrast, says to us what the rope-holding girl said to me [when I was about to bungee jump and was scared]: 'Your part is to trust. Trust me to do what you can't.'"
