Do you ever experience feelings of self-righteousness and spiritual pride creeping into your life? In what circumstances do you find yourself most vulnerable to these kinds of thoughts.
I'm a very proud person and it is something that I struggle with all the time. "At least I'm not like that" is a common failing of mine. It's hard not to give sin degrees of severity in your own mind. I mean, obviously I'm better than that woman who's cheating on her husband or that man who beats his wife or that teenage mother who neglets her child... except... in God's eyes, I'm not better than any of them. And it's hard to put yourself in that mindset. It's really something I need to work on. I want to be able to humble myself before God and I struggle with it a lot.
