I wish I was more knowledgeable than I am, stronger than I am, able to be in more than one place. I am more often left wanting when contemplating myself. My good qualities aren't good enough; my bad qualities too numerous. Again, looking to be more than I find myself to be.
On the other hand, when contemplating Jesus Christ, I find He is omniscient, all-powerful, and omnipresent. He is perfect in every way and in every way you can use the word "perfect." There is no lack in Him.
Now, placing myself alongside Jesus is ludicrous, except He places me alongside Himself. The Bible says it this way: Ephesians 2:6, "and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." We are, in Him, where He is.
So, do I contemplate myself as I see myself or do I understand myself as the one who has been made more than I appear? Which would God choose? I see myself as the one made more through Jesus Christ, refusing to bring to nothing His work on my behalf.
"Your mission should you choose to accept it..."

I Agree, but as I read the "Word" daily, and pray, the things of the world grow strangely dim.
In fact, without Jesus, I am nothing and I have Nothing!!
