05/26/24 TWO ERRORS

Two errors of the proud.
1- They think too highly of themselves.
2- They do not think highly enough of others.

I know, this is really simple. But most people who are deformed by pride don't realize these two principles in their own lives.

For instance, when gathering with other believers, do you think that others are going to be extremely blessed because they get to spend time with you? Do you look forward to gathering with believers because you are looking forward to the blessing that others will provide for your spiritual growth?

This is not saying that we should not intend to be a blessing, but being a blessing at a gathering is actually because you have spent many hours during the previous days drawing closer to Jesus and being conformed to His image. We are a blessing when we spend ourselves for others, rather than when we perform for others.
