He does not let go. He hasn't got to live with them. He is inside them as well as outside them. He is with them far more intimately and closely and incessantly that we can ever be. The more we can imitate God in both these respects, the more progress we shall make.
Some people say it is morbid to always be thinking of one's own faults.
That would be all very well if most of us could stop thinking of our own without soon beginning to think about those of other people. We don't like rationing which is imposed upon us, but I suggest one form of rationing which we ought to impose on ourselves. Abstain from all thinking about other people's faults, unless you duties as a teacher or parent make it necessary to think about them. For there, with God's help, one can do something. Of all the awkward people in your house or job there is only one whom you can improve very much.
