If...

"If I can enjoy a joke at the expense of another;
if I can in any way slight another in conversation,
or even in thought,
then I know nothing of Calvary love."


"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips."
Psalm 141:3

"If I belittle those whom I am called to serve,
talk of their weak points in constrast with what I
think of as my strong points;
if I adopt a superior attitude, forgetting
'who made thee to differ? and what hast thou that
thou hast not received?'
then I know nothing of Calvary love."
