THE MOTE IN THE EYE

He couldn’t detach himself
from himself
and embrace Your loving Word.

He could not see what You said:
The mote in his eye
was himself. Himself.

Intoxicated by SELF.

Snared by the unholy trinity of:
“Me — MYSELF — and I.”

For men shall be lovers of their own selves
(2 Timothy 3:2)
