Are we heartbroken today, or do we see ourselves as content, and satisfied with our lives, and who we are? Has our rebellious spirit been broken, or is it strong and self-determined? Do we approach God overcome by our contrition, and desiring His forgiveness, or are we convinced that we are worthy in ourselves, and without sin? Before we can be of use to God our old self must be broken and bridled, and our will made subservient to His. How do we stand before the Lord? Are we humble and obedient, or self-assured, unteachable, and defiant? Are we meek, or are we arrogant and proud in our demeanor?
