I'm as prone to self-righteousness as anyone else. I think I can restrain my self-righteousness by my sense of its costs and my desire to be free of them, by my awareness of my ordinariness and of the holiness in others, and by the discipline, and grace, of love.
Not everything of value is in limited supply and costs money or time. Three things of great value and in great
demand which are in unlimited supply, with no cost except
self-righteousness and a little energy, are kindness, forgiveness and love.
