I am bitterly ashamed, O God, that always I must be confessing to Thee my forgetfulness of Thee, the feebleness of my love for Thee, the fitfulness and listlessness of my desire. How many plain commandments of Thine have I this day disobeyed! How many little services of love have I withheld from Thee, O Christ, in that I withheld them from the least of Thy brethren with whom I have had to do.
(A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie, p. 111)
