I'm sharing a quote by John Newton at Out of the Ordinary which I've also posted here. As I consider the years I've been a believer and how much further I have to go, his words perfectly describe what I want to be when I grow up:

He does not call evil good, or good evil; but his own experiences teach him tenderness and forbearance. He exercises a spirit of meekness towards those who are overtaken in a fault; and his attempts to restore such, are according to the pattern of the Lord's dealings with himself.
