For if it is related that he who is called the prince of Tyre was among the saints, and was without stain, and was placed in the paradise of God, and adorned also with a crown of comeliness and beauty, is it to be supposed that such an one could be in any degree inferior to any of the saints? For he is described as having been adorned with a crown of comeliness and beauty, and as having walked stainless in the paradise of God: and how can any one suppose that such a being was not one of those holy and blessed powers which, as being placed in a state of happiness, we must believe to be endowed with no other honour than this? But let us see what we are taught by the words of the prophecy themselves. (Book I, Chapter 5, Part 4

Ezekiel describes the prince of Tyre as beautiful, rich, and wise.

"By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries." (Ezekiel 28:4)

With such strength each of us might be tempted to think ourselves god-like.

So I give thanks for my failures, foibles, and foolishness.

It is awareness of weakness that has brought me intimacy with God.
