“But isn’t arrogance, in fact, the other side of rejection? Isn’t arrogance putting yourself on a pedestal to avoid being seen as you see yourself? Isn’t arrogance, in the final analysis, just another way of dealing with the feelings of worthlessness? Both self-rejection and arrogance pull us out of the common reality of existence and make a gentle community of people extremely difficult, if not impossible, to attain.”
~ Henri Nouwen
Isn’t arrogance also worrying? When we worry we are not trusting in God, but rather in ourselves. What other ways do you think we illustrate arrogance toward God?
Lord, please keep me humbly trusting in you.
