The struggle of human existence is to let God be God.
 
Denzel Washington told this humbling story on himself, "I walked into the house one day and feeling full of myself, a movie star, said, ‘Mother, did you ever think this was all going to happen?' She responded, ‘Oh please, go wash the windows for me. You have no idea how many people have been praying for you when you were a knucklehead.'"

C.S. Lewis says, "When I learn to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now." When we put first things first, second things are not suppressed, but increased.
