"It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us pay attention to ourselves instead of to Christ. He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you do not have the joy of His children; you have such a weak hold of Jesus.’ All these are thoughts about self, and we will never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self. He tells us that we are nothing, but that Christ is all in all."

At the end of my life, I want to make sure there's no more gas left in the tank. No unused opportunities or hours wasted on petty things. To lead a life that is characterized by "spending all the gas in your tank" and always moving forward is to fully obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
