Isaac of Nineveh
I really enjoyed what Isaac of Nineveh said about when people really trust in God and have faith their prayers don’t even mention their own selves. I think I have read something of C.S. Lewis’s that makes this point. It is indeed a very good point that once some one becomes so enthralled with God there is no need to think of yourself. Its just interesting to hear someone talk about God’s love for his people in an infinite way outside of the Bible. I also like how he says when a man is completely hidden to himself in himself he is completely with God…this makes total sense in the case of humility. Once we loose sight of ourselves then we can focus on good it makes me think of a blurry foreground in a picture (us as people being humble) and the crystal clear sky in the background(the bigger picture of things GOD)
