“The girl was very proud” (ODAT, 5 November)
What are the elements of pride?
1. Thinking oneself the centre of the universe—seeing things from one’s own perspective.
2. Living for oneself instead of God.
3. Taking direction from no one but oneself.
If I could have got this to work, I would have.
The most important test is this: how well am I doing on the above system?
The follow-up question: when did I think the system was going to start working?
It was this that prompted the surrender.
