Knowing God requires also that we become unafraid to know ourselves. Approaching almost a quarter of a century of full time service and pastoral ministry for God, I recall, times without number, the agony of the would-be follower of Jesus whose only strategy for living was to run away, and another who could not face examining his own motivations, and a third who never reached Bethlehem or Calvary for fear of what she might discover on the journey.
-On the Way to Bethlehem, Hilary McDowell
