The Other Half

Meister Eckhart wrote: "There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up friends, possessions, and honors, but it touches them too closely to disown themsleves." --quoted in A Testament of Devotion by Thomas R Kelly

Lord, help us to disown ourselves.
