Introspection, Self-suspicion, and the Death of Joy, 3

In my readings today, a wonderful word from Tozer on introspection and joylessness:

While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves -- blessed riddance.  The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the Perfect One.  (Pursuit of God)

Now that, in a few words, is what I have been trying to say in many.
