"I am building
myself. There are many roots. I plant, I pick, I prune. I consume.”

If
you have already made a decision, and an inventory of your grosser handicaps,
you have made a good beginning. That being so you have swallowed and digested
some big chunks of truth about yourself.

Having
made our personal inventory, what shall we do about it? We have been trying to
get a new attitude, a new relationship with our Creator, and to discover the
obstacles in our path. We have admitted certain defects; we have ascertained in
a rough way what the trouble is; we have put our finger on the weak items in
our personal inventory. Now these are about to be cast out. This requires
action on our part, which, when completed, will mean that we have admitted to
God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our defects.

Returning
home we find a place where we can be quiet for an hour, carefully reviewing
what we have done. We thank God from the bottom of our heart that we know Him
better.
