Teaching on humility as detailed in Proverbs 25-29, I received this brilliant note:
As I look into myself by the Spirit’s power (without that, everything I see in myself will be part of the great delusion that I am someone important), I see that you are right. All my boasting is ultimately a way of covering my inadequacies and guarding my vulnerability in so many areas of my life. How superior to instead enjoy the covering provided only in the supremacy of Christ!
