Earlier this week in the Gospel we heard Jesus urge us that if our hand is what ails, cut it off. Similarly, He directs us if our foot is what would be our downfall, cut it off.
I can boldly and brashly assert that I can do this or that, but at what cost? Am I insisting on stretching myself to do something that I am not equipped to do, that is going to cause harm in the end?
If my pride would result in my ruin, I need to have it ripped out of me. In the end, it's not what we accomplish, but what we admit of the truth about ourselves and our limitations that matters.
