While out walking I stopped to talk to a fellow Irish man, he is from the south,as we old ones spoke of our different aliments, I will not tell you what they were,I don't want to depress you.He asked what age I was , I asked him what age he thought I was,and to my surprise he said 65,I lie not ,of course he was not wearing glasses.He told me his name was Mac Carry,the conversation came to spiritual things, I don't know if I made much headway,but I did try,one of things he said, that he did not sin,and he had no sinful thoughts.One is amazed that a person saying such a thing,it manifests just how blind they are,blind to how vast is the gulf between sinful man and God the holy One.We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God,he did not appear to think that applied to him.There is no one so blind as those who cannot see,or who don't want to see.I pray that the Holy Spirit would do His special work of convicting him of his sin , and of God's righteousness,and of coming judgement;(John 16 v 8.)
' Dear God you know the awful darkness
of peoples hearts,we cry unto you that
by your Spirit,you will convict them
of their sinfulness,and that they may flee
to Jesus the Saviour of sinners.Amen'
