I thank you God that I am not grasping.
God b merciful to me a sinner.
Two people thinking.
Which are we , who is the real winner.

This man  man went home at rights with God
The other did not.
Do we recognise we are flawed.
We just have to accept our lot.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled.
But the man who humbles himself will be exalted.
So do not be disgruntled.

Hope, if you accept  fate, is never halted.

If  we pray like the tax collector.

We can always look to our protector.

……

God be merciful

To me  a sinner always

That is all I ask

……

See Luke 18: 9-14
