Many things in small group need to stay within the confines of the group but spiritual insight does not. We were discussing humility and pride. One person shared a version of the quote below. I say a version because I can't recall exactly and while he did know the exact quote, he couldn't remember who it should be attributed to so it's probably best that I can't remember exactly anyway!
When you think you have humility, you forfeit the right to it.
And I shared the following from a Bible study I'm leading. It comes from a video session done by Beth Moore in her series
Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent:
Thinking lowly of yourself is just another form of pride. It's still all about you.
I've really pondered that over the last few weeks. I generally don't feel pride because I think I'm all that great. I really don't. I actually fall to the other spectrum of despising myself. I never thought of it as being prideful. Ouch.
