 I had no spiritual power in my life, and I knew it. My understanding of the Scripture and of reality was stunted by my narrow view of what I wanted to get out of my life. I was condescending. In fact, I was very arrogant. Many people that I love will tell me what I was like in those first years of walking with Jesus, and it was hard. I thought I had it all together, and I imposed that on everybody else around me.
