This quote by Spurgeon really hit me today:

"God will have you turn your eye off yourself and look unto Him. The hardest thing in the world is to turn a man's eye off himself; as long as he lives he always has a predilection to turn his eyes inside and look at himself; whereas God says, 'Look unto me. [Isaiah 45:22]' From the cross of Calvary, where the bleeding hands of Jesus drop mercy; from the garden of Gethsemane, where the bleeding pores of the Saviour sweat pardons, the cry comes, "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." [Isaiah 45:22]
