Destitute...

Excerpt from today's My Utmost for His Highest devotional (Link)

We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God; we must either receive it as a gift or do without it. The greatest blessing spiritually is the knowledge that we are destitute, until we get there Our Lord is powerless. He can do nothing for us if we think we are sufficient of ourselves; we have to enter His Kingdom through the door of destitution.

That man writes with such succinct clarity its disturbing... lol. Humble pie anybody?
