To save myself I must face myself, which may be the hardest of all things to face.

When standing face to face with myself, I far too often refuse to look in the mirror. When standing face to face with God, there is no place where a mirror is not.

Once I stare into the face of God, I can stare into the face of anything.

When it’s dark, I can’t see my hand in front of my face. Yet, no matter how deep the darkness might be, God sees both. And when I realize that, the dark never really gets that dark.

Failure is a friend if we can see past the face of the foe that we project on it.

One sure way I can avoid facing myself is by refusing to look into the face of God.
