"And Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.'"I must admit that I am many times guilty of this borderline idolatry (quite often, ironically enough, with Aaron himself!). If even Jesus denies being capable of good, it's dreadfully obvious that God is at work within the world, and we ought to give credit where credit is due.Mark 10:18 E.S.V.

Ya subhannallah!
I once saw an interview on YouTube with Aaron Weiss (I'd find and share it with you if my computer had working sound..) in which he diverted any praise or glory cast upon him to God. The media present seemed at least slightly confused, so Aaron explained that any "good" he did (I quoted good because Aaron would surely question the word) came from God and was not his own. He intended it to be very clear that he was a simple instrument of God and deserved no credit for any of his laudable work.
