Deceiving Ourselves

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

 “First we deceive ourselves, and then we convince ourselves that we 

are not deceiving ourselves.”  Lewis Smedes

Psalms 86:11

Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
