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.
