Theologian J.I. Packer: "…think of it this way. It is as if the Spirit stands behind us, throwing light over our shoulder on to Jesus who stands facing us. The Spirit’s message to us is never, 'Look at me; listen to me; come to me; get to know me,' but always, 'Look at him, and see his glory;

"I THINK YOU'VE SEEN JESUS."
The real putting off and putting on is not so much about our determination to make improvements but about giving ourselves over to our Lord to do the real work in our lives.
In the children's book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, there is a particularly bad boy named

Just when I think I have all my bases covered, a new one shows up, and it’s not a homerun.
I know all my tocks don’t tick, but I do the best I can. I may not be the best all the time, but I try, and I try, and I try. I do not want to be a nuisance to anybody, so I try not to, especially with the
