“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. I have come to address the topic of spiritual pride. Pride is inordinate self-love. Spiritual pride would be a patting of yourself on the back for gifts God has given. The spiritually proud want everyone to know just how powerfully God is working in their lives. They crave the limelight. They seek to impress people with their holiness. Often the virtues they practice are superficial–false for others to see.”
“But I choose the little and least likely. I choose the insignificant so that My words resonate with importance and do not have to compete with the soul's own need for importance.”
“Spiritual pride is a trap Satan lays for all who seek holiness. This snare is covered by the soul's own self-love so that he never sees, nor even suspects it. He is so enamored with what he sees as his own favor in God's eyes, that he never sees the hidden trap.”
“Humility does not seek to be important in God's eyes or in the eyes of man. Humility only seeks to love God more intensely and to do His Will.”
