Of the Mean Estimation of Oneself in the Eyes of God

...by a perverse loving of myself, I have lost myself; and by seeking You alone, and purely loving You, I have found both myself and You; and by this love have more profoundly annihilated myself.  Because You, O most sweet Lord, deal with me above all desert, and above all that I dare hope or ask for....Oh, convert us unto You, that we may be humble, thankful, and devout; for You are our salvation, our courage, and our strength.
