But by the Grace of God I am what I am: and His
Grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain . . .
---1 Corinthians 15:10
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief.
---1 Timothy 1:15
Each flaw and failure still remaining serves as a sign
and indicator, during this time of preparation,
of a tendency I must spiritually correct
or prayerfully redirect,
or diligiently refine
before I enter Heaven's eternal exultation.
