Two classes of people make up the world: those who have found God, and those who are looking for Him–thirsting, hungering, seeking! And the great sinners came closer to Him thean the proud intellectuals! Pride swells and inflates the ego; gross sinners are depressed, defalted, and empty. They, therefore, have room for God. God prefesrs a loving sinner to a loveless ‘saint’. Love can be trained, pride cannot. The man who thinks that he knows will rarely find truth; the man who knows he is a miserable, unhappy sinner, like the woman at the well, is closer to peace, joy and salvation than he knows.
