“You don’t impress the officials at NASA with a paper airplane.
You don’t boast about your crayon sketches in the presence of a Picasso.
You don’t claim equality with an Einstein because you can write H2O.
And you don’t boast about your goodness in the presence of the Perfect One.
Mark it down. God does not save us because of what we’ve done. Only a puny god could be bought with tithes. Only a heartless god would sell salvation to the highest bidder. And only a great God does for His children what they can’t do for themselves. That’s the message of the first beatitude.”
