“I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.”

A lot of us can say the same thing.

Moody was quite the preacher, his conversion was questioned at first, but his zeal was overwhelming. The statement " I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have met. " To meet ones " old man " is to overcome the enemy within.
As with the 6th book, 6th ch, 6th verse in the NT KJB.
Let him that hath wisdom number.
The point he makes could be more to the point ! But four stars for the right direction. I am a teacher that preaches sometimes.

I think this would be true of any honorable man/woman.

I like it a lot !  Far more truth / far more often than not.

It is so much easier to follow than to lead...

When I look at others I find nothing but criminals.  When I look in the mirror I find someone who wants to participate in a civilized arrangement.
