Gleanings from the Letters of JND - 146

 
How much, with us all, the " myself " at the bottom, finds its way through certain points of our character. If it is of a disagreeable or tiresome stamp, we are such to others; if it is of an amiable stamp, we are amiable to others; but there is no difference really; and we find difficulty in judging this " I," when it presents itself with certain characteristics, under certain features. By looking at Christ all is right, because the bottom is reached. 312
