The Unreliable Self
“Why are you relying on yourself, only to find yourself unreliable?”
-Augustine, Confessions (Book VIII. xi, 27)
As I am continuing Augustines’ ‘Confessions,’ I am constantly seeing little pieces of myself in what he is writing. He continually relies on his own strength, as I often do, and he slowly comes to grips with how this has and will fail him. This is something I am in continual need of: dying to myself and relying on the power of Christ.
