A Spiritual Kidney Stone: Pieces of Ego

How’s your battle with your ego going? 

We are told to “clothe ourselves with humility” (1 Peter 5:5)

I believe it is a lifelong battle for the Christian. 

Some of the most humble people I’ve known, every once in awhile you see the face of pride pop out:

         -pride of success and accomplishments

         -pride of accolades

         -pride of popularity

         -pride of knowledge

         -pride in your dug in stubborn positions

         -pride of your own spirituality 

         -even pride of your own humility 

Ultimately, getting rid of prideful ego is like passing a kidney stone!

Yet, this is a battle worth having.
