Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - July 11
Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue. —2 Peter 1:5
You will find it less easy to unroot faults than to choke them by gaining virtues. Do not think of your faults, still less of others’ faults; in every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong; honor that; rejoice in it, and, as you can, try to imitate it; and your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes. —John Ruskin
