Do not confuse
self-criticism with self-awareness.
They both may dare to engage the shadow,
but the former, if not tempered by love,
may fuel guilt and self-loathing.
The latter, a child of grace,
aids in our enlightenment
and the birth of compassion
for ourselves and others.© 2015 Dennis Ference
Humility and self-awareness
mixed with God’s unfailing
love and mercy—a powerful formula
for healing and transformation.© 2015 Dennis Ference
