21. Denial and acceptance

```

You denied yourself even the bare necessities;

Therefore

You think you are great.

You may be right.

Who knows?

He denies nothing that comes his way.

I tell you

That he is right.

God is well-pleased with him.

I deny the things that God wants me to deny.

I accept the things that God wants me to accept.

Why?

Because my acceptance-light

And my denial-might

Contribute to my God’s constant self-transcendence

in me.
