Quote Of The Day

I’ve been playing my old John Martyn CDs while working at the computer of late. Just now I was burning his 1992 CD BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert and found this quote from the great man in Jeff Griffin’s sleeve notes:

Success is when you know your own worth – all the rest is unnecessary ultimately.

This could be taken in some trashy pop psychology wan, but reading it after hearing elderly people in church tell me they feel worthless when they can do fewer things is sobering and encouraging. For the Christian, knowledge of our own worth starts with being loved graciously and unconditionally by God in Christ.
