- Who was the real Simon Peter?
- Was Simon as his friends saw him?
- Was Simon like he saw himself?
- We see the faults plainly in others but not plainly in ourselves.
- Who was the Simon Peter Christ saw?
- Jesus saw Simon as he was, the real man then existing, and the Simon Peter He could make.
- Who is the real you?
- Is it the person your friends see?
- Is it the person you see yourself?
- I doubt whether anybody really knows themselves until they see themselves in the white light of God.
- Who is the real you?
- It is an act of faith, but I believe that the real you and me is the self which Christ could make.
- If we could only see ourselves as Christ sees us! If we could stand at His elbow and get that double vision; the men and women we are; the men and women we might be!
Could’st thou in vision see Thyself the man God meant, Thou never more could’st be The man that art content.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
