Deprived Ourselves
The notion that we would still live our own lives, God helping a little now and
then, began to evaporate. Many of us who had thought ourselves religious
awoke to the limitations of this attitude. Refusing to place God first, we had
deprived ourselves of His help. But now the words “Of myself I am nothing,
the Father doeth the works” began to carry bright promise and meaning.
