The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less. Timothy Keller
C.S Lewis said " A proud man is always looking down on things and people ; and , of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."
I repent my sin of pride which has blinded me and cry for humility.
