My Saviour

I believe that He is my Saviour from myself, and all that has come of loving myself, from all that God does not love, and would not have me love-all that is not worth loving; that He died that the justice, the mercy of God, might have its way with me, making me just as God is just, merciful as He is merciful, perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect.
