PRIDE

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. Thomas Merton A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God; of his dependence on Him; of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom; and that it is by God's power that he is upheld and provided for, and that he needs God's wisdom to lead and guide him, and His might to enable him to do what he ought to do for Him. —Jonathan Edwards

I've just come through a 2 year period of darkness where there was no rescuing myself. All I could do was throw myself on God's mercy.
