Prodigal: I am about to have the perfect game!
Me: Pride comes before the fall.
Prodigal: I really want it to be perfect.
Me: You should focus on just enjoying and leave perfection to Jesus
This is from the book So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore
Pride. A root of insecurity if there ever was one. We will never feel better about ourselves by becoming consumed with ourselves. Likewise, we will never fell better about ourselves by feeling worse about others. Superiority can’t give birth to security. Neither, by the way, can the relentless pursuit of perfection. Earlier in our journey, I suggested that perfectionism is insecurity in art form. It never looks prettier and never acts deadlier. Perfectionism is perhaps our culture’s biggest temptation.
You are no better than anybody else. God has put you where you are and only Him. It was not your doing so remember that pride has no place in what you are about to do.
Hebrews 2:11
Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
