I have also been reading devotionals from a website created around Oswald Chamber's book, "My Utmost For His Highest".
Should Christians be proud? We focus on what other people think about us and not what God thinks of us. God sees us who have been born again as His children and He is proud of us. But if we acknowledge how unworthy we are in God's sight, we are telling God that it is impossible for Him to redeem and claim us as His own. How dare we tell the Lord that He is wrong. We are not to use humility as a selfish tool to have people respect us or think how Godly we are. We are Godly only because of Christ and His work on the cross for us. By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain . . . —1 Corinthians 15:10
