From the Cloud of Unknowing
"God's word, written or spoken, is like a mirror. Reason is your spiritual eye and conscience your spiritual reflection. and just as you use a mirror to detect a blemish in your physical appearance - and without a mirror or someone to tell you where the blemish is you would not discover it - so it is spiritually. Without reading or hearing God's word, a man who is spiritually blind on account of habitual sin is simply unable to see the foul stain on his conscience."
We are all sinners. We are so quick to see the sin in another and are blind to the sin in ourselves. But it's when we discover our own sin that we are empowered to do something about it. And when we do something about it we discover the peace that Jesus longs to give us.
God bless!!
