Self evaluation

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. (2 Peter 1:5-9 ESV)

What a tremendous litmus test for ourselves!  Doing a little self assessment in things like virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love, certainly makes it easy to see where the weaknesses are and where to focus.  May we always be seeking to increase in these areas, and not suffer from nearsightedness.  Good word and good things to focus on.  Word!
