Bible says that iron sharpens iron thus a friend sharpens another. In today's shepherding session, though I was delivering a teaching, I felt that I learn lots from it. I taught about pride and as I was preparing for it, I was reminded to check myself first. What is the degree of my pride? Is pride leading me away from God? When God gives me my giftings & talents, how do I use it for self-glorification or God's glorification? Am I self centred or am I others-focused?
On my way home, I read this solid phrase:
Love that goes upward is worship, love that goes outward is affection, love that stoops is grace
- Donald Barnhouse
Personally, being humble is something that I need to learn ALL the time. Pride is one thing that will often bring one down. Never underestimate a humbling experience.
