“We need to stop comparing ourselves to others, and stop patting ourselves on the back for attaining artificial measurements of spirituality.

“Pride is a terrible and dangerous thing. It can take so many forms; it can even assume the appearance of humility. Pride can lead not only to self-exaltation, but also to self-abasement. The key to battling pride is not found in struggling against thinking too highly of ourselves or in striving to think of ourselves as lowly. The key is found in simply not thinking about ourselves at all, but setting our minds on Christ and the needs of others.” ThinkingNeedsMindSelfFormFoundChristStruggleDangerousHumilityPrideKeysTerribleAssumingStriveAppearanceSettingSettingsDangerous ThingsExaltationNeeds Of OthersAbasement Author:Paul Washer
